This is a band of 15 year olds in my area who always brag that their band is better than everybody else's. Opinions? Most people just dont like them cus their ;arents pay way to much for all of their gear and promoting (literally $100,000)
Let me know what you think.

I don't really care much for it.

They seem better than most other 15-year old filled bands that I've played shows alongside, but I don't see anything too special.

Let your playing do the talking and leave them to whatever it is that they want to believe. Time will tell if they can back it up.

the sound quality hurt my ears on the drum intro...so I stopped listening...
But if they're good, they're good.

Though, as young as they are to have such good quality equipment seems unfair. I wish I had been spoiled with nice basses/rigs when I was younger!
Being endorsed by PRS as a 14/15 year old? damn...

I'm sorry, but I'm getting really tired of kiddie cover bands that take themselves way to seriously. If their parents think that they are the next big thing, or that they can buy their way to fame and fortune, thats fine, but please don't bore me with the results.

Meh, pretty good for kids I guess. That chick singer looks like she's gonna be huge in a few years though.

Okay, let's take out the part about the quality and expense of their gear. It sounds jealous and snarky. Green can be an ugly color in the form of envy.

I've heard cover bands getting booked routinely in local clubs and bars that couldn't do that song as well.

For 15 year olds, they have a right to be proud of what they're doing. But they will soon learn that bragging usually tarnishes your image at this stage of the game.

If they stay humble and keep growing they could be really good as young adults.
