Go ahead and file this alt-rock trio's phenomenal debut CD in the "Mommy? Daddy? Why are
you listening to my music?" pile. The members of Egg are obviously firm believers in the
there's-no-need-to-dumb-it-down school of children's music, and their fantastically fun album
proves that parents and kids definitely can rock along together, singing the same lyrics in
unison. (We wouldn't be surprised to hear the White Stripes cover "Flip Flops.") Egg may be
the quintessence of cross-generational appeal. Ages 4 and up

Top Track "Summer Today"

In my 20's, I'd go to a small dark club in Rhode Island to watch obscure indie rock bands play
loud, jangly music. We were a fairly homogeneous group, save for one earplugged little girl
of about 3 who would sit on her dad's shoulders and watch her mom play the drums until
well past midnight. They sure made the effort to combine their rock n roll life with parenthood,
but I imagine that having kids must put a damper on the musical career of plenty of indie
bands.

The three-members of LA-based Egg came up with a solution by mixing their love of music
with their new life with kids. The result is a nine-song happy indie pop CD aptly called
Sunny-Side Up. From the bouncy Flip Flops to the sweet closing song, Goodnight, Egg plays
the kind of music I want to hear, with lyrics I don't mind my kids shouting. Just as long as they
still go to bed on time. -Christina

Egg is the creation of LA-based audio engineer Jeff Fuller who wrote some songs with his
young daughter Annabella, wrote some more songs himself, and recruited some other
moms and dads to record the songs for an album.

Reading over that description might not necessarily fill you with hope for the album -- good
intentions and enthusiasm being a poor substitute for, you know, musical talent and
songwriting skills -- but luckily their debut album Sunny Side Up has enough of that musical
talent and songwriting skills to make it a fun listen.

The band mentions Cake as one of their musical reference points, and I can hear that, at
least in the somewhat spare arrangements that rely a lot on drums and, on a couple
tracks, trumpet. But I hear more of a West Coast Brady Rymer. It's roots-rock mixed with
a little country and with a more sunny (album title pun unintended), wide-open feel. The
album has a loosey- goosey sound (I mean that as a compliment here) and it serves as
an appealing musical background for lyrics that are squarely aimed at the preschool set.
In part this probably partially reflects the influence of Fuller's daughter, but it's nice to hear
songs about shuffling down the hall (the angular "Flip Flops") or summer ("Summer
Today") that retain that kid's perspective. "Hiccups" is a goofy, make-the-kids-laugh song,
while the last two songs ("Airplane" and "Goodnight") are tender ballads.

Kids ages 3 through 7 are most likely to enjoy the songs here. You can hear sound clips from
the 26-minute album at its CD Baby page. Egg's Sunny Side Up will have no small appeal to
families who prefer their kids music (if not their eggs) a little bit scrambled. Recommended.

Children's music can be punk-rock now.  Just in case you're wondering "Can such a lineup
actually sound good? The answer is yes. If you were to stumble across Egg's debut album
Sunny Side Up, you might have felt as through you've crashed a party with confetti, balloons
and red velvet cupcakes. The result of the band, like that fantastical scene sounds like fun.
This unique kids' band has created a genre all their own. Egg genuinely appeals to children
as well as family members beyond the tender age of 5.  Much of the instrumental parts sound
like they could have been lifted from punk, pop-rock and ska records (and let's throw in a
marching band!)  With clever lyrics and musical talent to boot, Egg showcases quirky and
clever songwriting paired with fun instrumentations like the the trumpet and flute.
