Great. Just what the world needs - another KISS podcast! Though we are unabashedly KISS nerds, we are also AWOL from the KISS Army. Objectivity is a rare quality in the KISS fan base, but join us as we retrace the history of the band, album by album, year by year. Along the way we hope to differentiate the fact from the fiction and the good from the bad. So hang on tight, it's gonna be a wild ride. Whoa my god, no time to turn!

Russ Ward, Alex Stiff, James Nunn
