Kiss it Goodbye was a hardcore band from Seattle, Washington, USA that existed from 1997 - 1998.

After calling it quits with the New Jersey band Deadguy, Tim Singer (Vocals) and Keith Huckins (Guitar) moved on to form Kiss it Goodbye with bassist Thom Rusnack and drummer Andrew Gormley. Huckins, Rusnack and Gormley were already familiar musically as they were members together in the groundbreaking New Jersey band Rorschach.

A demo tape was quickly recorded and heavily circulated around the New York City area which responded with high praise. The band decided to pack up from their New Jersey roots and follow Tim north west to Seattle. The band soon after recorded their 1997 debut LP "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not..." on Revelation Records. Produced by Billy Anderson, the album had the same familiar sound that fans of Deadguy and Rorschach had come to know along with Singer's melodramatic screams and ramblings. The tracks "Preacher" and "Target Practice" which were left off of "She Loves Me.." were also released this year soon after as a 7" EP by Revelation.

In 1997 the band packed up and decided to hit the road along with Unsane. They were also teamed up quite oddly with classic death metal outfit Obituary. Shortly after the tour Huckins decided the touring and music were no longer to his liking and was replaced by Seattle hardcore veteran Demian "Headboy" Johnston. The band then recorded material in 1998 for an EP that was to be released by Sub Pop Records but was never released by the label as Tim Singer soon decided to leave the band effectively dissolving it. The tracks were eventually released by Revelation Records as the "Choke" CD/7" EP.
