A Family Album (by The Verve Pipe, Children's Music)

The Verve Pipe ("The Freshman") has changed their tune to make their first children's album, A FAMILY ALBUM. It's a fun, eclectic mix of rock, folk, and pop that uses an array of instruments and sounds to create ten tracks about the silliness and loveliness of childhood and family. From seeing a family grow to the power of cereal, this album will have the entire family smiling and enjoying the music together.

The Verve Pipe has jumped on the bandwagon of under-the-radar musicians who, perhaps after a hiatus of mainstream hits, try their hands at children's music. While this transition doesn't always prove to be a good one for some bands, for TVP the move to the kiddie genre is as natural as Kashi cereal. Their alt-pop style mixed with horns, rooster calls, and tambourines makes these songs about family and childhood unique. From the rockin' "Wake-Up" to the sweet "Go to Sleep Now," a precious lullaby for those tender moments before bedtime, A Family Album could be a soundtrack for a day in the life of a child. Take note of the sure-to-be-fave "Be Part of the Band" -- it's a cool call to kiddies to be a rocker when they grow up -- or at least in their living room with a hairbrush mic and a family audience.
