1. Kiss Kiss was an indie rock band that emerged from Milton's SUNY Purchase. The group was formed by Joshua Benash (guitar, synth, and vocals) and Jared Karns (drums) after the members had participated in various college bands. The name Kiss Kiss is derived from a series of short stories by Roald Dahl. Although their music is primarily rock in style, it also includes an electric violin that adds an orchestral sound to many songs. The contrasts within Kiss Kiss' songwriting and vocals have also been described as extremely frantic at times, yet melodic and soothing at others. This unusual variety of styles has helped the band's music to appeal to a wide audience.

The band's first release was a self-titled EP--initially released independently in 2004, it would be re-released on Eyeball Records with new artwork on October 11th, 2005. Their debut album, Reality vs. the Optimist, was officially released on February 6, 2007.

The band's second album, The Meek Shall Inherit What's Left, was released on July 7th, 2009.

2. On March 25, 2023, at the conclusion of WACK Audition Camp 2023 the formation of KiSS KiSS was announced. The group consists of six members of GANG PARADE. Their first digital single, "Kisses", was released on April 17. On June 21st, they released their debut album, First Album. They are a contrast to GANG PARADE's alternative image, as KiSS KiSS is an orthodox-style idol group. They will disband in 2026.
