Kissin’ Dynamite is Your New Favorite Terrible Band

Germany’s Kissin’ Dynamite are GREAT, but they’re not actually good. Hopefully, you understand the meaning behind my contradiction, but in case you need me to elaborate: they are totally ridiculous, and not in a funny, knowing, Steel Panther-kinda way… but they’re also not offensively self-serious like Axel Rudi Pell or Emmure. Their music is simultaneously inadvertently droll and undeniably catchy.

Take, for example, their new song and accompanying video, “DNA.” It opens with these lyrics, which utilize obvious metaphors, a slang term I haven’t heard anyone use since the early 90s, and a non-rhyme that is such a long reach it makes every pronunciation of “again” as “ah-gain” so that it fits with “rain” or “pain” or “plane” seem totally organic:

I’m a bad, bad boy
And I go for your toys
Because your long, long legs
Get me high to the max

Meanwhile, the video — which is clearly intended to be funny — is all about how women want to mate with the strongest, most powerful man who will be able to provide the largest sum of stuff, which is a little misogynistic, but not entirely untrue. It includes a scene where a nun goes down on Jesus. For real.

And yet… as dumb as it all is… I can’t get the goddamn song out of my head, and I’ve watched the video three times. So Kissin’ Dynamite are doing something right.

Kissin’ Dynamite’s new release, appropriately titled Megalomania, comes out September 5 on AFM.
