Three Second Kiss got together in Bologna, Italy, in 1993 under the inspiration of Rodan, Blonde Redhead, Big Black, and Jawbow. With their complex but abrasive tunes of hard-hitting indie, Lollypop Records contributed to the release of Three Second Kiss' first full-length F.P.R. Two years later, their second album, Everyday Everyman, came out through Wide Records before the band hooked up a distribution deal with Washington D.C.'s Slowdime Records. After the September 1999 release of the EP Focal Point, Three Second Kiss introduced themselves to the U.S. as they toured with the June of 44. ~ Mike DaRonco
