CLOSED:The Rattles Cd Review and Giveaway!!!! (TWO WINNERS)

If there is one thing my boys love, it's music. Even the baby is happier when the radio is on. And I have never seen a kid as into music/dance as Tater. He is so silly and crazy, and anytime music is on, he's dancing around like a fool! I love it!

I was so excited for the opportunity to review a new kid's cd for The Rattles, an animated animal band with songs likened to The Beatles and The Monkees. They are the cutest things I have ever seen!


Check out their official YouTube video: (Warning: I've been singing this song since I saw the video the first time!)

I love it! This is even something I could jam to while cleaning house! :) It definitley beats some of the kiddie cd's we have bought in the past. I would love to have something like this that we could both enjoy together!

Check this out from their recent press release:
New York, NY – "Hailing straight from the swamps of Central Jersey, an eclectic band of anthropomorphic critters known as The Rattles are preparing to roll out their debut studio album ‘RATTLE ON’. Working in the classic traditions of The Beatles, Moxy Fruvous, The Monkees, and They Might Be Giants, The Rattles apply a fresh fusion of classic rock and power pop that is sure to appeal to fans of all ages and put them on the map.

The unique animal collective consists of four stellar musicians and life-long friends – Gus, Kitty, Sal, and Hal – who describe their upcoming release as “the album we were born to make”. From start to finish, ‘RATTLE ON’ provides a solid testament to The Rattles’ undeniable musical ingenuity, jammed with catchy pop melodies and feel-good vibes that are sure to inspire lots of head swaying and booty-shaking.

With their trusty manager Benny and a devoted legion of roadies all named Elvis in tow, The Rattles intend to take their show on the road and connect directly with the people who inspire them most – the fans. With such a distinct background and a colorful collection of grooves, The Rattles are shaping up to be one of the most intriguing new music acts of the year."
