“KinderAngst is a unique rock album to share with kids…there are deeper learning points in this album, too, such as how to identify and appropriately deal with emotions”

It’s exciting to hear people getting the messages we’re putting forth, and to see them as jumping off points for bigger discussions with your kids!  KinderAngst, at its core, is an album about emotional honesty, and we’re always glad to hear that that message gets through.

“Despite its musical cred, KinderAngst does a great job of turning childhood emotion into colorful lyrics. I’ve never really spoken about “stress on kids,” but I see it in my own toddler, and songs like “Today” capture that and show that it’s ok to be down sometimes. Then you have “A.D.D.” and “Big Time Out” that touch upon the hyperactive and spending time in the naughty spot.  Very cool on a lot of levels, KinderAngst is a lot of things, but above all it’s a lot of fun.”

Aww, thanks James!  We’re so grateful that people really appreciate the message we’re trying to spread, and hearing it written as well as you put it is music to our ears.

“LaLa (age 4) thought that “Rat” (an absurd song about taking a subway rat home as a pet) was the most hysterical song in the universe!  And LoLo (age 5) thinks that Alphabet City is perfect to play air guitar along with.  I enjoyed all of the songs and thought that the creativity of this album is perfect for today’s Moms who are sick of the kid’s albums out there that drip with honey and sweetness.”

Thanks a ton Ellery!

Debbie Harry and KinderAngst make the front page at AOL Spinner

In anticipation for the full-length release of KinderAngst tomorrow, AOL Spinner has just put up an exclusive premiere of “Do It Yourself,” featuring the songwriting and singing talents of Rock and Roll legend Debbie Harry!

From the site:

“The projects’s new single, “Do It Yourself,” is an homage to the DIY generation, showing little rockers that doing your own thing and being your own boss can be incredibly satisfying. And who better to lead that charge than Blondie singer Debbie Harry?”

Head over here to read the full write-up.  KinderAngst will officially be released tomorrow, but you can order your copy now at our store page!

KIDIndependent, the popular Australian blog for the independently minded parent just featured “Rat” on their site!  Check out what they had to say below:

“Hey folks, I’m here to brighten up your afternoon with a kindy rock anthem about a New York City subway station, a beady-eyed-rodent and… a new family pet! The song, aptly named “Rat”, is the debut single from “KinderAngst“. It celebrates individuality and pet care responsibility, set to a rockin’ Shangri-Las style beat.”

Thanks guys!

You can listen to the new track (and check out some more awesome kids clothing, music and art) at their site.  ”Rat” is now available on iTunes.

Rat, the debut single from KinderAngst, is out now on both iTunes and Amazon mp3!

A picture perfect homage to the retro-pop of the Shangri-La’s, “Rat” takes a second look at a cuddly rodent in a New York City subway station, and dreams it into the perfect playmate, satisfying any rock and roll sweet tooth with an incredibly catchy chorus and witty lyrics.

Parents can use “Rat” as an opportunity to teach responsibility in caring for a new pet, while also encouraging kids to embrace individuality in choosing one, as the song playfully reminds us that not everyone wants a dog or cat.
