What parents need to know
Parents need to know that there's nothing here but fun, fresh, rockin' and rollin' for the whole family.
What's the story?
A two-man band, The Sugar Free AllStars know how to put the "fun" in fun-ky fresh rock for kids with their album, FUNKY FRESH AND SUGAR FREE. The ten tracks feature cool keyboards, drums, and a host of other sounds to deliver fuss-free messages about being a kid and having fun.
Is it any good?
At first listen, the keyboard synths and rockin' riffs on Funky Fresh and Sugar Free seem a trifle repetitive and overwhelming. But as you make your way through the tracks, the complex yet refreshing sound grows on you. No fancy clickety-clanks and silly tricks to keep kids engaged; just good, solid tunes to get kids moving. The music is upbeat, interesting, and accompanies lyrics that get kids bouncing, clapping, sharing, and singing about having fun. As a bonus, there's a great cover of the Beatles' fave "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da," and a cool track about having a blast on your birthday. No fuss, just fun -- for kids and their parents too.
