About Me


After years of playing in various punk rock bands growing up, Chris Qualls eventually grew tired of the SoCal indie scene. Disenchanted, he turned his focus to becoming a songwriter and producer and began working with synthesizers and drum machines.
Around the same time he met a beautiful singer named Lauren Baird while attending classes at UC Riverside, California. The two had an instant chemistry and Lauren agreed to join Chris in his mission to make edgy dance pop for a new generation. The duo recorded four of Chris's songs and began passing them out under the name, A Kiss Could Be Deadly. The response to their fusion of punk, new wave and electro was so positive that the two decided to turn it into a full band and start performing live. Calling on friends and ex-bandmates Kelly Cairns, Danny Deleon and John Bennett, Chris assembled what was to become the official line-up of the band.
The Songs Featured On The Self Titled Album Out Now!:
    01. The Exit 02. Just Another Mystery 03. Broken Music 04. Poison IV 05. I Guess You Didn’t Mean It 06. Damage Control 07. Midnight Romance 08. I Wrote You A Love Song 09. The Sequel 10. The Day The Covenant Found Earth 11. The Book, Not The Feeling 12. Acoustic Romance

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

“ForTheSound.com: This group could very well be your new musical obsession. A Kiss Could Be Deadly’s new album, S/T, will leave you in awe. Their Electro-punk sound with soft yet strong vocals enchants the mind and body. The Huntington Beach Septuplet has achieved an all-new level of electronic pop punk that will have you addicted from your first listen. Vocalist Lauren has a poppy vocal style mixed with that rock out attitude, and adding the synth to the mix completes the sound to make you fall in love with the addicting tracks they pump out. Songs like “Broken Music” and “Poison IV” have you singing the lyrics over and over again. A Kiss Could Be Deadly will be your new “Midnight Romance”, once you get your hands on this album. The sweet vocals bring the paranoia and desperation in songs like “The Sequel”, making the lyrics grab hold of your senses and not let go until the last second of the track. Putting them in the top of your playlist is expected once you hear any of the groups music. This group sounds like a calmer Paramore that got smacked with some synth and higher vocals. It has to be one of the top albums of 2008 for sure, and it’ll make you wonder how you didn’t find A Kiss Could Be Deadly earlier.
As a five piece, A Kiss Could Be Deadly started playing all over the west coast. Their originality, big hooks and interaction with fans soon got people talking. With a buzz circulating around A Kiss Could Be Deadly, 2007 proved to be an eventful year. In addition to signing to Metropolis Records and beginning the recording of their debut album, the dance/punk quintet performed with the likes of Berlin, the English Beat, the Aquabats, I Am Ghost, the Plimsouls, When In Rome, and many others. The band exploded. Radio (Indie 103.1 + X 103.9), press (Alternative Press Unsigned Band Contest Winner, Urb Magazine, Racket Magazine), online (myspace top unsigned electro charts and features on girlpunk.com, indie911.com and arjanwrites.com), and even exclusive underground mixtapes (Electro Riot) couldn't get enough of the band. 2008 will prove to me an even more productive year for the band with their self-titled debut slated for release in March and an extensive national tour to follow. Prior to the album's release will be a digital only single for Broken Music.
