Last Kiss Goodnight

The Critically-Acclaimed Group Netted The #4 Most Added Spot On The Billboard Mainstream Indicator Chart & Was The #1 Most Added On The Foundations Chart Week

Alt rock band Last Kiss Goodnight (LKG) – whose breakthrough single “Love Separation” debuted among the top five on the Most Added Billboard Mainstream Indicator Chart and nabbed the coveted #1 spot on the Most Added Foundations Chart Week – has revealed that their much-anticipated album Immortal will be released Friday, October 11 on all major digital platforms.
Already receiving praise from such industry stalwarts as 94.3 FM The Shark’s Assistant Program Director Orlando, who described the single as “the perfect introduction to the next wave of rock heroes,” support for the new album has been swift.
“Last Kiss Goodnight wears their influences on their sleeve with bravado and sheer nerve while crafting songs that seem accessible for any generation of rock music fan,” Orlando said. - INDIE PULSE MUSIC

According to LKG singer, Ray Patricks, developing the signature LKG sound was a delicate balance between taking cues from iconic grunge and rock bands, such as The
Cult, Stone Temple Pilots, The Smashing Pumpkins and more, and shaping these with
their own experiences.
“When writing Immortal, we tried to stay as true to ourselves while still paying homage
to the music that we all grew up with and were heavily influenced by,” Stroud said.
“Very much like ‘Love Separation,’ listeners can expect to hear traces of grunge, alt and
hard rock with undeniable hooks and unforgettable choruses throughout the album.”
Last Kiss Goodnight’s mature tone and confident songwriting comes from its members’
more than two decades of experience on the Mid-Atlantic scene. Hailing from such
esteemed bands as Agents of the Sun, Live Alien Broadcast, and The Mayan Factor, the
Maryland-based quintet agrees that their debut effort is “the embodiment of [their]
individual journeys and musical experiences from the past combined with a collective
consciousness that is solely reflective of the band’s unparalleled passion and creativity.”
“Last Kiss Goodnight is a much more sophisticated representation of us individually and
together,” said Robert Lasky, drummer for LKG. “It took us all being in several past
projects in order to finally fall into a group that we each feel very confident about”.

Working with long-time friend and co-producer/engineer Frank Marchand of Waterford
Digital Studios, in addition to mastering engineer Alan Douches of West West Side
Music, the band’s inaugural effort features 12 songs that they wrote and produced
themselves. - Music Industry News Network

The band formed two years ago, releasing their debut album Immortal in early October last year. Their first single “Love Separation” made significant inroads on various Billboard charts and the band have enjoyed some sweet opening slots in front of bands as diverse as Papa Roach and Good Charlotte.

Last Kiss Goodnight frontman Ray Patrick wanted the video to explore the audio-verité worlds of the recording studio and the live setting.

“When writing the words and melodies for ‘Miss Anything,’ I was listening to a lot of Willie Nelson,” he says. “More specifically, Willie’s song ‘On The Road Again.’ To me, Last Kiss Goodnight feel like that traveling band that Willie was/is singing about in [that song]. I was also watching a lot of sci-fi at the time, so I think I subconsciously married the two aspects. We wanted to document the beginning stages of our journey. So we took our studio experience and live show and put them together.”

“The video for ‘Miss Anything’ is a special one for us, as it documents the beginning of our journey from the studio to the stage to the sold-out record-release party,” drummer Robert Lasky says. “Metaphorically, ‘Miss Anything’ is the band’s happy place and is about taking this music as far as it can go. It’s about closing one door and walking through another, without worry or regret. Go forward: You’re not going to miss anything.”

Last Kiss Goodnight will fit nicely on your playlists between Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains and Three Days Grace. If you’re unwinding at the end of your work shift or running the clock until the bartender tells you to leave, Last Kiss Goodnight will always have your back.

Last Kiss Goodnight is a new find for us, the Alt-Rock band from Baltimore is a heavy-hitting crew of five that loves making music together. Their latest full-length project “Immortal” is an exciting body of work that makes one look forward to the next offering with great anticipation. We got a chance to meet the group via their Lead Singer Ray Patricks to discuss the band and what brought them together, their top five picks from their work to introduce themselves to listeners and more.

We are an Alt-Rock band from Baltimore, MD comprised of 5 very gritty musicians that love playing music together.

What brought you all to the entertainment industry, music specifically?

I think it’s the constant need to create and perform. And performing in front of a live audience is definitely an adrenaline rush. I know my endorphins kick in after a powerful and commanding performance out on stage. An overwhelming reaction from an excited crowd is a high that I can’t put into words. I think it’s better than skydiving naked from an airplane! Ha!

What do you want people to get from your music?

I think we would love for any of our songs to stain the brains of any of those that listen. Even more so, to become the soundtrack of certain moments in people’s lives. Whether its a romantic or painful moment. A blissful or angsty one. I would be honored if someone’s inner Lloyd Dobbler showed up outside of his/her boyfriend/girlfriends bedroom window while holding a boom box (those are making a comeback) in the air and one of our songs were blasting from the speakers… yeah, i think that would complete me.

Tell us about your current project and where it stands for you in your body of work.

Currently, we are doing a few select dates in support of our debut release “Immortal” which dropped back in October of 2019. We have gotten a lot of great press and acclaim with the album locally and nationally. We have released two singles to radio off “Immortal” (Love Separation and Miss Anything). Both songs have and are doing well with radio. we are also charting with strong numbers on billboards and foundations rock indicators. Within a week or so we will be releasing the new video for our song Miss Anything. That will be available on youtube, our website, and other social media outlets. Not forgetting to mention that our album “Immortal” is available on all streaming services.

For new listeners, what song of yours would you pick as an introduction to you as an artist?

Top five:

Miss Anything

Love Separation

Tell us a bit about your work and passions OUTSIDE of music…

We all have different things that drive us. Two of us are photographers and videographers (Carlo and I). Rob recently won a poker tournament. Dan loves to go off roading in his Jeep. and Kevin… Kevin owns a guitar shipping company called “ship guitars”. Kevin also loves the adventures that come along with finding a good box wine and the ritual of listening to any of the tool records from front to back.

Last but not least, HYPE wants to know…What’s your CRAZIEST “Where they do that at?!” aka WTF?! moment…

I think it has to be Dan cutting his hand open on his guitar. Dan plays with passion. Whether it’s at a live show or a rehearsal, Dan really hones in his craft. So much so that the man bleeds for his art. I think dan has cut his hand open over a dozen times with in the last year. The most recent was at our album release show. I think he got some blood on some of the people in the audience. He still hasn’t wiped the blood off that guitar (Fender Toronado 2001). Dan says that it adds character. I say whatever keeps him performing with passion and writing amazing beds of music for me to sing too.
