Best Rock for Kids

The Terrible Twos

Wonder why your baby niece's favorite band sounds strangely familiar, even though the songs are about little-kid rivalries and taking showers? It's the slight guitar twang and the sensitive vocal delivery. The Terrible Twos is venerable Lawrence musician — and father — Matt Pryor's kid-centric project. That's the Matt Pryor, of Get-Up Kids and New Amsterdams fame. Hence, the great hooks and surprising lyrical depth of this musical project aimed at little ones. Example: Here's the first rule, you have to learn as you go/Here's another rule, you have to leave me alone. And, yes, it's completely acceptable to jam the Terrible Twos, even when not in the presence of young'uns. In fact, you'll want to, if you dig Pryor's other work. Though retired from emo, Pryor can almost wring tears with a song about a ladybug.
