Kid Bands

Re: Kid Bands

I actually took this seriously and listened to several songs from each band.

Not to be a jackass, but jesus christ they suck. No musical talent, whatsoever. It's like Kidz Bop... crap. A few powerchords and a basic drumline, with lyrics that either entail retarded crap or things they don't understand.

In ten years, each of those bands will qualify as perfectly mediocre. Congrats.

Young age is supposed to be focused on study, not performance. You need years of practice to be remotely any good, so picking up a guitar or bass and playing a three powerchord riff at age ten simply doesn't move me.

Listen to Joe Satriani, see him live in concert like I have, and then you'll know what it means to say, "I play guitar".

Agreeded. Unlike OrganisM, I didn't take the time to listen to any of those bands. Not just because of their age, but the name of the band. I'm definitaly judging a book by its cover but in this case..it's rather smart. I'm not saying that ALL kids bands aren't good and I'm not saying that they are. It just takes years of practice to sound right.

Re: Kid Bands

As long as the kid band is good, it's fine with me.

Re: Kid Bands

I have never heard of any of those bands. I checked them out. I'm sorry, they were complete and utter trash. I am way more talented.

Re: Kid Bands

I listened to a Tiny Masters of Today song, and they suck. I have been playing guitar for about half of a year, and I'm not that good, but I'm better than their guitar. I can't understand their lyrics because their voice boxes haven't fully developed yet. It's terrible.

Re: Kid Bands

Re: Kid Bands

I once heard a band with 8 year olds. they scare me.... They scare me a lot...
And why are you talking about a Nick show that has a fake band?

Re: Kid Bands

The good thing about kid-bands is their gimmick won't last more than a few years.

Re: Kid Bands

Yea, they only last about...erm...a year maybe?

BTW-you guys do know that KidzBop was organized by the Devil right?

Re: Kid Bands

OK, I went and took a listen to all of the bands you mentioned, and Tiny Masters too. I have to agree that they all suck except for Squish. I cannot judge a band by their name because I have heard some awesome groups with names that suck suck suck. Smoosh is a perfect example of girls with rich parents that have more money than talent. I did a little searching on them and somehow they got the drummer for Deathcab to be their drum teacher. Too bad those lessons didnt take. The voices are even worse. Little to no control and really annoying keyboard parts. All in all, they cant write play or sing... so why are they popular? Mommy and Daddys money!!!
Squish - - Although the names are eerily similar, their styles and talent level couldnt be more different. Are you guys on this thread even listening to the music> Get past the cheap recording equipment and listen to some of the music. I took a look at their sites and they have some videos that put older musicians to absolute shame. Geez, these kids play better than most any live band I have heard that arent signed with major labels. They did the right thing and didnt let a little boy take on the lead singing parts with the prepubescent voice like other kid wanna be rock bands do. THey have a girl with a voice that actually sounds old enough to drive.
The other bands mentioned dont have a shred of a chance against Squish in a battle of the kid bands.
Chances are, if they end up big, they may turn out like Hanson and New Kids on the Block and peak at the age of 16 and then fall into the dark corners of the music biz playing small clubs to make ends meet.
So, yeah, you are all right about these kid bands, but I have to give props to Squish. Hopefully their style can break free from the talentless punk and screamo crap that is plaguing the world.

Re: Kid Bands

Squish blew. Yes I listened to their music and it was

utter trash

I can probably play guitar better then their guitarist, and all of my friends that drum are better then their drummer. Also - what FishFish said.

Re: Kid Bands

Cool.... Kid bands..... My friend when we were in 4th or 5th grade he said he was in a kid band but I don't think so......

Re: Kid Bands

The comment about the kid saying, "I can probablyplay guitar better than their guitarist." just shows that he doesn't know what he's talking about. In his words, they're, "utter trash" but he can probably play better guitar! So, now I'm wondering where I can listen to "g4z33b0" play guitar and all his friends who drum, cause I'm sure if they are good as they say they are they have a CD out, like Squish and get paid gigs like Squish, right?

Squish is trash, and the fact that their parents' money paid for them to be a commodity (hey look the kid's trying to sing) makes them even worse than ****ty bands who pay for their own instruments.

Having a CD out and playing gigs does not make an artist. Pull your head out your ass, you half-wit.

Playing a three-powerchord riff makes those kid bands talentless retards, not musicians.

I can play many of Steve Vai's solos with ease, yet I don't have a recording contract or a CD out. Does that make me a ****ty musician?

If there ever was an award for supreme stupidity, you've most admirably earned it.
