Featuring Debbie Harry on "Do It Yourself"

Hear single "Rat" Today!

[KinderAngst Album Art]KinderAngst is here to usher in a different kind of musical journey for kids and their parents. Channeling rock icons from The Ramones to The Shangri-Las to David Bowie, KinderAngst creators and respected singers/multi-instrumentalists, Palmyra Delran and Rachelle Garniez, have created a cast of vivid characters who deliver smart, witty and engaging punk rock songs for children. While messages of friendship, acceptance and patience are strewn throughout this album, these are not your typical candy-coated children's tunes. KinderAngst is a citified alt-rock album told from the perspective of children who are experiencing the universal growing pains of childhood, offering kids a way to positively work through their experiences. Of course, there are also plenty of lively choruses, crunchy guitars and eclectic musical homages that will make the most discerning fans and parents sigh with relief; there is even an exciting never-before-released track by Debbie Harry!

KinderAngst is set for release on June 5, 2012, and will be available via iTunes, Amazon, Best Buy and www.kinderangstmusic.com<http://www.kinderangstmusic.com>.

Set in the imaginative world of Alphabet City, a reference to New York City's Lower East Side, KinderAngst uses the spirit of punk rock to gently address the youthful angst caused by navigating the social landscape of childhood, whether it's dealing with friendships, parental discipline or struggling with individuality. Children are encouraged to embrace their feelings and to understand that it's only temporary if they have a bad day or feel like they don't fit in. The songs also provide a unique glimpse into city life; from public transportation, to tight living quarters, to the unique personalities that pop up along the way, it is the encounters with friends, family, strangers and neighborhood dynamics that present both the challenges and the carefree moments that inspire the songs. Ultimately, KingerAngst creates a space for children to openly engage with their emotions, and gives them the strength and encouragement to overcome them because the kids of KinderAngst do.
Album opener "Alphabet City" features a catchy "Hey Mickey" beat perfect for sidewalk hop-scotching and jumping rope, while "Let's Play" tells the story of two kids who can be best friends and worst enemies then back again, illustrated with the alternating influences of punk rock and new wave. Debbie Harry wrote and sings on "Do It Yourself," a ska song about self-sufficiency that picks up where her classic Blondie hit "The Tide Is High" left off, with it's a swaying Caribbean beat and West Indies horn section. While Delran and Garniez have written fun songs like the free-spirited, country song "Jump Jump" and the bath time tune "Bubble," they also delve into more serious topics, like loneliness and sadness. "A.D.D" is a about a child's desperate search for attention among an environment bombarded with noise and distraction. Garniez's slithering vocal on The Cramps-esque "Peek-A-Boo" and Delran's perfected Eastender accent on the Sex Pistols-inspired "Big Time Out" reveal the duo's varied musical chops.

Combining a tough-but-sweet attitude and masterful songcraft, this creative collection of original songs belongs in every family's music library!
