About Me

"We were a show for now,
The New York Kiss."
Retrofect, a dark-disco indie band, were formed in the
South coast city of Chichester during their early teenage years.
Retrofect, - consisting of Josh Price, Jamie Mellor,
Ben Thatcher, Adam Macaulay and Joel Horne - are now exploding onto the
scene following the release of their debut album, "New York Kiss."
With a sound that captivates the mood of a band brought up on
Radiohead, Talking Heads and The Smiths, the 5 piece have
discovered a mature widescreen sound they have aptly named Dark
Disco.
Renowned for their extrovert live performances, Retrofect have
notched up numerous headline slots up and down the UK. The band
have also clocked up tour dates with bands such as boykillboy, Little Man Tate, Linchpin,
Union Of Knives, Aqualung, The Race and Joey Nightmare.
The band now brings to you the New York Kiss. An
autobiographical album, it deals with the band’s personal view of
a turbulent year. Songs give fleeting glimpses of broken
relationships, times of tension & the loss of a great friend. But
delve deeper and you will find themes of hope & belief in the
future.
