Kaya Stewart’s latest video has just gone live “Drag” by her band Kiss Bang with Max Mercier

A few days ago, Kaya Stewart (DAve’s daughter) part of the dynamic pop-rock duo “Kiss Bang” dropped their latest single, “Drag,” marking a bold new chapter since the release of their debut EP, “Horrors Of Your Hometown” earlier this year. The new track amplifies the signature energy that defines Kiss Bang, signalling the start of an exciting musical era.

Leading up to the release, Kiss Bang—comprised of vocalist Kaya Stewart and guitarist Max Mercier—revealed that “Drag” heralds the beginning of what they call Kiss Bang 2.0. The duo has expressed that “Drag” is their favourite release to date, serving as a symbol of rebirth from the former era of Kiss Bang.

Prior to the track’s debut, Mercier shared on Instagram that “Drag” emerged after a period of introspection following the release of their debut EP “Horrors Of Your Hometown”. Staying true to their distinctive retro alt-pop style, “Drag” explores themes of longing and desire within relationships. The song skillfully blends vulnerability with powerful synths and guitars, encapsulating the essence of Kiss Bang’s dynamic sound.

Kiss Bang continues to challenge the conventions of mainstream music. Their intense and rebellious artistry is evident through cathartic melodies that defy temporal and categorical boundaries. With a sound that seamlessly bridges the gap between retro and futuristic, Kiss Bang boldly transcends modern music norms.
