Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

Says lead singer Shelby, "Being all girl, all teen, we're usually pre-judged. People don't expect that much, but we usually convince the audience that we're a legit rock band, not just a `chick band.'"

Product Description

When it comes to making music, Shelby (lead vocals & guitar), Katie (guitar & vocals), Shae (lead guitar), Sophia (bass) and Kate (drums), are a wrecking crew unto themselves. In songs like, "Don't Rain On My Parade," "Saturdays Sundays," and "BFF" they sing of the world they know: boys, dating, texting, playing and partying. Yet they also bring a surprising measure of depth, with songs like "Don't Come Crying" and "Every Time You Go."

2 stars from two reviews? Isn't that a little unfair? It is hard for me to find another group like KSM. All-female band and young singers. I adore their beat and energetic sounds of music. I will not talk about lyrics. I am still getting into this group. But they are so good. I want to see more albums from them. Really, give them a try. They are really good.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, August 23, 2010

Any one of ten thousand girls could have been Hannah Montana. Disney can take three not-so-handsome brothers with questionable musical talent, give them a back up band and turn them into teen rock superstars. Disney's magic is truly magical.

But these girls are the real deal. Every single one of them has butt-kicking talent. They actually play their own instruments. Shelby Cobra has a voice range like Pat Benatar. When they performed live, they didn't have a back up band of professionals or backing tracks. They got up and did their thing.

But every performer is at the mercy of the material. These songs are contemporary bubble gum pop songs better suited for Miley or Demi. There's not much meat to chew on in the lyrics, and the guitar riffs are mostly power chords. It's like a Ferrari that never goes over 25 mph. They never had a chance.

But whether they're going to Columbia University or law school somewhere or if they decide to pursue music as a career, these talented girls will be successful in whatever they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars KSM The greatest high school girl band or the best album you never heard of., April 24, 2011

I found KSM's album at Newbury Comics for 3 bucks and bought it just for the Cheap Trick cover of "I want you to want me". I was SO Siked when i got home and just kept loving ever next song. It was crazy! The CD ended way to fast. After this i searched out everything i could find by KSM, from "Hero in you" and "Magic carpet ride" (Steppenwolf cover), to ITunes Only live show from New York (Awesome and heavy!).Everything i got was absolutly great, i love these girls! Then the bad news... They did a group of small tours and Disney related stuff then broke up. Of course i'm devistated but i still have this...Read Between The Lines! The greatest album of any kick ass all girl group out there. I encourage anyone that likes bands in the tradition of the GoGos, Joan Jett, or the only good album Avril put out (good job SUM 41 on that one)... KSM is the real deal and it's unfortunate that they didn't last long enough to make a second album. I get the feeling they were only getting better.
