The Board of Education Plays Kids Music Like You Remember It
Close your eyes and think back to the music you loved as a kid… Schoolhouse Rock, early Sesame Street and the Electric Company…. Now don’t you wish someone would create music like that for your kids? Music that was simultaneously intelligent, witty, and musically REEE-DICULOUS?
Well, The Board of Education has granted your wish.
(You can open your eyes now, by the way.)
Round up all the “kindie” music you’ve heard, stuff it into a microwave-turned-interstellar-rocket, and blast it toward the Horsehead Nebula – you won’t need it where we’re going. There’s a reason why the buzz about the BoE is as big and buzzy as it is… As premier children’s music website Zooglobble puts it, the Board of Education’s debut record is “like nothing else you’ll hear in the kids music world.” Or, take it from the Seattle Times when they say:
It’s the rare record that you can bring to your pre-teen kids without steeling your nerves against six months of repeated plays and an onslaught of cartoon earworms. The BoE did it right.
So pack your star charts, duct tape, dictionary, fruit snacks and fleece jacket, and get those five senses ready for action – you and your kids are about to have a blast!
The Word on the Street Is…
Seattle powerpop band Central Services combine their love of melody and hooks with classroom subjects that might otherwise be yawned at by Fourth Graders, to create the ridiculously catchy, funny, and intelligent CD Central Services Presents: The Board of Education! - Kids’ Music That Rocks Blog
“Forgive them if the name sounds so very official. Central Services’ The Board of Education is anything but official and boring. Their music seems to span the generations and genres.” - The Seattle P-I (R.I.P.!)
“Their new kids’ CD educates like Schoolhouse Rock… and yet sounds a bit like Ben Folds Five… Regardless of who they remind us of, they have a sound that’s melodically their own with catchy songs full of well-thought out lyrics so multi-layered you’ll find yourself listening to them over and over again… And let’s face it, tin foil robots + volcanoes = AWESOME…” - Otterhop blog
