If a kiss is deadly, then that is one intense case of herpes. Still, don’t hate A Kiss Could Be Deadly for their idiotic complete-sentence band name. Hate them for their crap music instead. Instantly forgettable and boring, each song on the band’s self-titled debut features the dangerous one-two punch of bland music and utterly generic and forgettable lyrics which only become memorable when they fall into the realm of self-parody, like on the chorus to the puntastic “Poison IV,” which beings with the line “And you – you’re so cliché.” Irony isn’t strong enough of a word. Lead singer Lauren Baird’s whining howl of a voice doesn’t help things, either. She can’t sing, and no amount of harmonizing keyboards or the ever-so-subtle effect of an auto-tuner is going to hide that. The only thing that makes AKCBD (wow, even their abbreviated name is too long) stand out at all is their reliance on keyboards. But adding annoying synthesizers to annoying pop/punk songs doesn’t make them any better. And their electronic edge will probably be their undoing, as it makes them not emo enough for the emo kids but not electronic enough for the electronic kids either. AKCBD (yeah, that doesn’t stop being annoying) is just Paramore with a keyboard fetish. (LABEL: Metropolis 2008)

After reading your review I thought I\’d check this band out. I couldn\’t disagree with you more. What a powerful voice this singer has.( you must not be educated in Voice) Her range is quite impressive. It brings me back to the 80\’S. She reminds me of Pat Benitar! The drumming is outstanding and the words to the songs are addicting! Thanks you for introducing me to one of my new favorite bands! It looks like this band is pretty hot, They are really popular on Myspace and are a signed band! Not an easy thing to do! For the band… Keep doing what your doing! This is the only negitive \
I tried to see how many times you said annoying before YOU got annoying.
You obviously dont know what good music is.
Their lyrics are anything but forgettable, they are ridiculously catchy and I can listen to this band all day and not get tired of them.
They are talented and they know how to use instrumental tools to their advantage.
And to say Lauren doesnt have a good voice… honestly were we listening to the same band?
Her voice is not only powerful it resides with you, so maybe you should take another listen.
