Some details about Kissaway Trail via Girlie Action –

Formed in Denmark in 2005, Kissaway Trail initially consisted of five members. Led by the dual singing and songwriting of guitar players Søren Corneliussen and Thomas Fagerlund, the band fused the fiery atonal rock of acts such as the Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana with the ethereal thump of the Flaming Lips and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The result was two well-received records – 2007’s self-titled debut and 2010’s Sleep Mountain – that consolidated their reputation as a band to watch. Extensive touring established their live rep, and the group seemed poised to make their third, crucial album. Then, everything exploded, as tensions within the band’s direction hastened the departure of two of the five members. By 2012, the remaining three – Corneliussen, Fagerlund, and Hasse Mydtskov on drums – had spent time getting to know each other and their music again, and headed into the studio fresh, excited, and rejuvenated. “With this new unity,” says Mydtskov, “we were able to be more open with each other, more vulnerable, and really find out what we wanted to do. And what we wanted to do was much more straight ahead than the first two records, more aggressive, more in-your-face.”
