Get your musical groove with the Rattles, review & giveaway




How often as parents do we want to turn off the kids’ music and turn on something that we would want to listen to? Wouldn’t it be helpful to have kids’ music that was liked by the kids and liked by us parent?

Look no further than The Rattles. The Rattles are a new kids’ band that plays music that parents can like. With songs that reference the Beatles and other rock icons, this is music that parents and kids will enjoy. The Rattles band members are Gus, Kitty, Hal and Sal. They are known to be an indie band whose songs focus on friendship and sharing.  

Recently, our family was given the opportunity to receive the Rattles CD. From the mini-van listening party, the Rattles receive a big vote of approval.  The kids were able to follow along with all the songs. From opening chords, the kids were bopping along with the beat.  The biggest hit was R-A-T-T-L-E-S. It was simple to follow and the kids picked up the lyrics quickly. 

From the mom perspective, I was pleased. The music wasn’t condescending.  The lyrics were kid friendly, but the musical references were easily identifiable.  With songs like Lucky Sam's Banana Stand, parents will hear the Beatles references.  It’s refreshing to listen to music that isn’t candy coated pop or dumb-ed down, simplistic non-sense. As a parent, I want to my children to have an appreciation for all musical genre. This CD will help foster my goal.

Looking to see if you kids might like the Rattles, head over to RattlesRock.com and listen to Wavvy Lane. The Rattles CD, Rattle On can be purchased on their website or on iTunes.
