Kind of Like Spitting was formed in 1996 in Portland, OR by Ben Barnett. Now joined by Brian Grant (Bridges Worth Burning, 100 Dollar Room, Old Moon) on bass and Dante Johnson on drums, KOLS has a solid home in its sound as a power trio. Over the band’s 19 year history they have toured the United States approximately 65 times, released countless singles, EPs, compilations and ten full lengths (Hush, Barsuk, SlowDance, Jealous Butcher...) all relatively under the radar, deciding in 2006 to pack it in.
During the Hiatus Barnett released an album on Barsuk under the moniker "Blunt Mechanic" in tandem with being the Music Director for the Seattle School of Rock. With a strong cult following and a new release on Top Shelf Records entitled It's Always Nice to See You as well as multiple re-Issues of older material (Barsuk, Run For Cover, Count Your Lucky Stars) slated for 2015, KOLS is touring again, making music and doing what they love.
