| You had a review on here that was right on the money. You shouldn't take a review off because it wasn't favorable. Your show is lacking tremendously since you lost those girls. You are a dissapointment to the real musicians that can take negative feeedback in stride. Taking the review off shows how shallow you are.

| Martin Folkman – Music Resource Group, Publisher of The Musician’s Atlas - It was a rare and fortunate opportunity to be among the few Easterners who had the chance to catch 3 Kisses playing a different time zone as part of the Harrisburg, PA-based Millennium Music Conference during one of two GoGirls Elite Showcases at J.T. Croc N Berry’s. Drawing on a diverse range of influences that range from straight-up pop to ska and beyond, 3 Kisses is fronted by the kinetic Tish Meeks who no guitar, mic stand or stage can contain. She and band members Tony Meeks (rhythm & lead guitar), et al wasted no time winning the crowd over to their infectious songs and spontaneous performance. Introducing new compositions and a handful of songs from the band's freshman release "Wings," the well-paced set gave 3 Kisses the opportunity to establish itself as a tight, well practiced outfit that can also cut loose, literally and figuratively. During several songs throughout the short set, Tish abandoned the stage entirely to greet and sing to the Pennsylvania crowd and bestow a little of the band's Southern hospitality. It made no matter that most of us were hearing these songs for the first time. The band's pop influences made these songs instantly recognizable and were served with enough passion to win over even the most skeptical in the crowd. Here's to hoping that 3 Kisses doesn't stay away too long.
Madalyn Sklar, founder of GoGirlsMusic.com, calls 3 KISSES' live show "An exhilarating mix of pop tunes that keep you wanting more. Front woman Tish Meeks has a way of grabbing your attention and not letting it go."
Eugene Foley - Foley Entertainment, Inc. - I recently had the opportunity to catch a 3 Kisses performance in Dewey Beach, Delaware. After 15 hours of flying and driving to get to the gig, the group still pulled off an amazing set. With great songs, an energy-filled stage presence and solid chops, this is clearly a group to keep an eye on. And most importantly, they really enjoy entertaining the audience. It's nice to see an artist smiling on stage and embracing that special moment with their fans.
Paul Autry – Ball Buster Hard Music/Spotlight Magazine - I caught 3 KISSES’ performance at the MMC and they were freakin' explosive. When they hit the stage...they rocked and they rocked hard...and I didn't have a drop of alcohol in me that night. So, I know what I'm talkin' about. Okay, sure, some of the tunes on their disc, "It All Comes Down To Me," may come off sounding like pop tunes. But, I still say they rock.
Now, I tend to view music a bit differently than other people and I may be way off base here. But, after watching their performance, well, vocalist/guitarist Tish Meeks, who's about as tall as I am, was a ball of fire on stage. She reminded me of a combination of The Runaways, Joan Jett solo and the late Wendy O. Williams. I don't know if anyone else would agree with me on that. However, that was my first impression and I'm stickin' to it. I'm gonna do a review on their album and I'm really gonna focus on it before I even attempt to write anything because I wanna do this band justice.
Drummer Josh Tallerine was great. He was a monster behind the kit. He beat the drums like they were rotten step children. Rhythm guitarist Tony Meeks is one talented dude. Not only does he play guitar. He was also playin' the bass with his feet...it was some pedal thing. All I know is that they had a full sound and I'm sure part of that was due to his talent.
Anyway, this is another band I'll be writing about again and, hopefully, they'll return to Pennsylvania in February for MMC11. Speaking of which...they've performed at the MMC before. Once, twice...not really sure. I picked up a promo disc last year and it kind of got buried under a pile of other stuff. I found it before I went to the MMC this year and, once I heard it, I knew this was a band that I wanted to see and I did. I also felt like giving myself a swift kick in the ass for not discovering them sooner. Better late than never though...right? Also, check out ‘Girls’ Night’...great freakin' tune. Yes, that's 3 KISSES. God, I love that song. They performed it live and that one stuck in my head for the rest of the night. Okay, sure, it's a song about sex and I always have my mind in the gutter...at least I'm honest about it. But, it's still a great song and I'm sure you'll agree with me!

| 3 Kisses delivers a strong sophomore album with catchy tunes and a rockin' beat. Tish Meeks and company have unleashed frenzy, so hop along and join the ride! -Madalyn Sklar, GoGirlsMusic.com
One of the best compliments that I can give is that I have thousands of CDs stacked high but It All Comes Down To Me stands alone in style. I also liked the in-your-face, heart-on-the-sleeve boldness and brass balls of the material and the way it’s honestly and 'having-a-great-time' delivered. Kudos de mucho! - Eddie Russell, DJ Country Eastern / Outlaw For Peace radio
3 Kisses is like a really great college party band, only better and much, much zanier. So now you can relive that kegger party of old—with or without the keg—just pop the new 3 Kisses' CD in your player, and start jumpin' and jivin'. You'll be glad you did. For a short while you'll be able to live like there's no tomorrow. If you like having fun, then It All Comes Down To Me gets a 5. If you're a sourpuss, then you get a big boot in the butt. –Tim Null, This Befuddled Universe, San Jose, CA
…fun pop-punk. It's certainly party music. It makes you want to jump around like a dork. Or maybe that's just how I jump around. The lyrics on this whole record are charming…is a fun summer record. -Amy Lotsberg, Producer of Collected Sounds
A fun and frenetic rock record, It All Comes Down to Me is reminiscent of The Bangs, but without the desperate need to play faster than everybody else. Highlighted by Tish Meeks’s sweet voice, this record is an invigorating throw-back to the days when music was not a statement, not a way of life, but a means for having fun. 4 Stars - Origivation Magazine, Philadelphia, PA
This is a fun, rock/pop/punk party album that's loaded with energy, excitement and, best of all, they're just good, solid songs. A must have recording for anyone who likes their music to entertain them. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give it a 20! - Paul Autry, Spotlight Magazine
High energy, In your face and great lyrics! This CD shows a much tighter 3 Kisses with more great songs that are thoughtful, fun and honest. The band really comes together on this one and proves what they are made of. A great sophomore project! - Alexia Erlichman, MusicGorilla.com
