Busting out of the musical walls of Brisbane in late 2022, five childhood friends united to create an infectious cocktail of catchy, heavy riffs, hard-hitting lyrics and purposeful melodies. Familiar, yet unique, the HISS sound is as diverse as the appearance and influences of the individual band members themselves. Their frenetic hook-laden energy – think Alice In Chains meets Helmet with a dash of Sex Pistols and Slayer combined – will guarantee crossover appeal throughout the rock and metal community.
The video for the band’s latest single TRACE combines an upbeat, yet light-hearted heavy groove, with luscious pop melodies and a relatable vocal rant, pitched against the story line backdrop of the pressures of a failed relationship. Taken from HISS’ forthcoming debut album ENÖZ LÄTEM – due late March – TRACE will also feature on a 7” vinyl release in hot pink (limited to 150 copies) that the band has pressed via their own imprint, LFT Records, to coincide with the album launch (March 29) and other promotional activities.
