KMoy
You might know Kmoy as a member of the Tape Girl band. He was also part of the Songs For Moms compilation covering ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow.’
‘The Precure Album’ is a concept album that touches on many different genres. It’s a ska punk album at its core but to only call it ska punk would be a huge disservice to the story it tells and all of the colors of the music. Kmoy played or programmed almost all of the parts on the album.
The Precure Album also features some vocals from Beth Rivera, the person behind Tape Girl. Beth mastered the album as well.
Fans of Tape Girl, Jeff Rosenstock, The Hippos, Fishbone, The Moody Blues, Streetlight Manifesto, Yes, Queen, Jethro Tull, and Frank Zappa will love Kmoy.
