The band’s five members were all raised in different places before meeting and starting the band in 2006. Kate Cabebe was born and raised in Camarillo, California and began taking an interest in music as a child by taking lessons in the violin and mandolin. Cabebe began playing the drums by age 13. Katie Cecil, from North Carolina, started her venture off by acting in various roles on stage, television and film. Shelby Cobra, from Santa Clarita, California, started in music by auditioning and performing in musical theater at a young age. She began studying voice and performance at the age of 12. Sophia Melon was raised and took lesson to learn to play the bass guitar. Shae Padilla, who was raised in Lancaster, California, started playing and performing music at a young age when her brother took lessons to play the drums so he could accompany her.
The band formed in 2006 as an originally pop group. They got its start due to the band The Go-Go's taking an interest in wanting to mentor a “new all-girl teen rock band.” The band started off with four members and when they soon decided to move to a rock genre, fifth member Shelby Cobra joined the band.
KSM guest starred as Vagablond in the Take180 original series I <3 Vampires on September 11, 2009 and performed their song "Read Between The Lines" to promote their album with the same name.
The band worked with Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil on their debut album. The album is set to be released on Sept 22nd and Sept 15th on iTunes only.
The band finished out a tour to promote their music as a special guest on select dates of Demi Lovato's Summer Tour 2009, then, a few months later, already in 2010, it was announced on their Facebook and MySpace pages that it was the end of the group.

All of the time
That's just my point of view
Some try to mess my mind
I got no problems
I already solved them
Oh, don't bring me down
Don't like the stormy weather
Oh, don't bring me down
I'm not gonna go there
Don't rain on my parade
Don't break my holiday
I won't let the clouds get in my way, no
Just wanna have some fun
I'm not the only one
Everything is going so good today
Don't rain on my parade
If people stare
At the blonde in my hair
Won't let it bother me, oh
Say what you like
I don't really care
I'm doing just fine
Me and my sunshine
Oh, don't bring me down
'Cause it's all good
Don't like the stormy weather
Oh, don't bring me down
I'm not gonna go there
Don't rain on my parade
Don't break my holiday
I won't let the clouds get in my way, no
Just wanna have some fun
I'm not the only one
Everything is going so good today
Don't rain on my parade
Can't take my, my sunshine
Even if they try
It's just a waste of time
Can't sway me or phase me
I know it drives them crazy
Watching me having such a good time
Oh, don't bring me down
When everything is all right
Don't rain on my parade
Don't break my holiday
I won't let the clouds get in my way, no
Just wanna have some fun
I'm not the only one
Everything is going so good today
Don't rain on my parade
Don't rain on my, on my parade
Rain, rain, go away
Hey, hey
Don't rain on my, on my parade
When I'm having such a good day
Don't rain on my parade
