Bluebottle Kiss is a guitar-based, indie rock band from Sydney, Australia. Formed in the mid 90s, Bluebottle Kiss was quickly signed to Murmur, an imprint of Sony Records, alongside other notable Australian bands such as silverchair, Something for Kate and Jebediah. However unlike those bands, Bluebottle Kiss found only limited commercial success due to a challenging sound that ranged from aggressive and loud to melodic and quiet.

The relationship between Bluebottle Kiss and Nonzero Records has endured, with the band's sixth studio album - the 2CD "Doubt Seeds" - being their third full-length release, among numerous singles and EPs, on the label.
