Kissing The Pink, often abbreviated as KTP, is a British new wave and synthpop band that first emerged during the early 1980s. The group initially consisted of a large ensemble of musicians, blending diverse influences ranging from punk to jazz, while establishing a distinct sound with an emphasis on synthesizers and electronic production. Their debut album, "Naked," released in 1983, contained their early hit "Last Film," showcasing their aptitude for catchy rhythms and a moody, yet danceable, style.

Throughout the 1980s, Kissing The Pink evolved, both in terms of their lineup and their music. They enjoyed several hits, particularly in the dance charts, with songs like "Big Man Restless" and the title track from their third studio album, "Certain Things Are Likely," which became their biggest hit in the United States. Although their later albums, including "What Noise?" (1984) and the self-titled "Kissing The Pink" (1986), did not achieve the same level of commercial success as their earlier work, they solidified the band's reputation as influential contributors to the synthpop genre and the broader New Wave movement. Despite being less active in the mainstream music scene, Kissing The Pink has maintained a loyal fan base and has been recognized for their sophisticated arrangements and innovative use of technology in music.
