Welcome to the official website of the Side FX ™ band! The Side FX Band hails from the Washington, DC with an alternative pop sound that is all their own. Their sound just might surprise you.
“More than Just Music” is the motto the band lives by – exploring new sounds and combining rhythms and beats that together offer the ‘unexpected’. Combining a fresh genre-shifting sound with inspired lyrics, the band lets loose with sultry lead singer Kim Cameron’s “get up and dance” spirit.

It took a mainstream pop/rock act like Side FX to show how hooky the indie aesthetic could be, fully exploiting its Top 40 potential.Cameron saves two of her biggest surprises for halfway through the album. Side FX transforms the Carpenters' "Rainy Days and Mondays" into a hybrid of twee pop and jazz, while on "Let's Paint This Town," Cameron rocks with the deep punk passion of Patti Smith. Side FX breaks all the rules of contemporary pop music, making them true rebels, yet remaining accessible to the masses.

On their new album, Contradictions, the band effortlessly shifts gears, from Motels-styled early 80s New Wave (Scattered) to blues rock (Her Escape) to country (Lifes Mystery). Through it all, lead singer Kim Cameron, who also wrote these songs, seduces us with her soulful tones.
