It’s been awhile since the music scene has had an all female band–not one of those prissy, just-stand-there-and-look-cute bands but one that could sing, dance and play their own instruments. Then in walks Walt Disney Records' KSM.
KSM, the all-female pop band formed in 2006, consisting of members Sophia Melon, Kate Cabebe, Shae Padilla, Katie Cecil, and Shelby Cobra, and got their big break as proteges of the Go-Go's, one of the top female rock bands of all time. The name "KSM" comes from the fact all of the group members' first names begin with 'K' or 'S', and the group decided to add an 'M' for music.
Coming off several months of glowing non-stop buzz, the all-female teen rock quintet KSM has been building momentum for the impending release of their debut album "Read Between the Lines" on September 22, and includes popping tunes like "I Want You To Want Me" and "Don't Rain on My Parade." Written and produced by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil, who have worked on the "High School Musical" projects, recorded and performed entirely by KSM. The debut album is available as a free download on iTunes the week from September 15 and has been selected for this week's highly coveted iTunes "Single of the Week".
Though the album marks the band's recording debut, KSM has already become enormously popular across the country, having played in front of 500,000 fans. Not only have they had more than a million plays on MySpace, KSM recently wrapped up a summer tour with Demi Lovato (they previously opened for Jonas Brothers and Honor Society on select dates). The lead singer Shelby says, "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'".
The teen rock quintet have also officially released a music video for the title track of their debut album "Read Between the Lines". The video is simple in its form with the five-piece rocking out the performance in a neon-lit stage. Enjoy!
