Kissing The Pink released an indie single 'Don't Hide In The Shadows' in 1981 that brought them to the attention of Magnet Records. As a result the band signed to Magnet and enjoyed a top 20 hit with ‘The Last Film’, the third single from their debut album “Naked”. They released two further albums with the label, “What Noise”' in 1984 and “Certain Things Are Likely” in 1986, the latter using the shortened band name KTP. The band enjoyed success in Europe and in the US especially in the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. There was one final album “Sugarland” in 1993.
