Big Bang Boom

Do kids CDs, with their high-pitched children singing nursery rhymes and preschool songs drive you crazy? Are you looking for a way to introduce your kids to rock, giving them a greater appreciation for music? Then Big Bang Boom is your answer!

This local band out of Greensboro was started a few years ago by Chuck Folds (younger brother of Ben Folds). After 20 years touring clubs and playing parties, Chuck and Steve Willard decided to expand their horizons and play for parents who have had enough of Barney, The Wiggles, and Kidz Bop. They have since been joined by drummer Eddie Walker. Big Bang Boom is kids music with a pop sensibility, really aimed more at being something that parents enjoy and feel good about letting thier kids listen to.

Their latest CD, "Songs your Mom will Like," is available for purchase at CD Baby for just $12.97, or you can download the entire album for $9.99. Get ready to rock out to songs like "Really Gross Kid" and "King of the Bugs."
