Sounds Like
A really loud explosion in a toy factory..... "...joyous, irresistible garage punk with sunshine choruses..."--..The Guardian......

"Marvelous stuff"--..Artrocker Magazine.. .... "this 2:43 minute slice of detached cool comes across like Suicide crashing a Shaggs rehearsal. How can you resist? "You say yes, I say no. You say stop, I say go. You say up, I say down. You say smile, I say frown. Stickin' it to The Man, stickin' it cos I can, stickin it to The Man, every day." Genius.--.."--David Bowie...... " lo-fi, high-intensity fun, with life and urgency and sloganeering and glorious edgy dumbness.

"...Big Noise has an undeniable DIY charm to it."--..Drowned in Sound...... "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah may have been the headliners, but pint-sized punks Tiny Masters of Today stole the show. With hair disheveled beyond their years, they vented pre-teen angst through their three-chord rants, bringing Fred Schneider of the B-52s and Kimya Dawson onstage as guests."--..Spin.com.... ......

Brooklyn, New York pre-teen punk rock sensations Tiny Masters of Today are comprised of fourteen year old Ivan and his twelve year old sister Ada. The pair began writing music in the summer of 2004 when Ada was only eight. In the intervening years, their sound has matured to the point where several songs actually exceed one minute in length.
Their influences are surprisingly diverse, ranging from the Ramones to Abba, but their inventive writing, arrangements, and playing are uniquely their own. Youth is certainly part of their charm but only to the extent that it contributes to the generally unaffected ambience. Amidst the general youthful exuberance is a refreshingly anti-authoritarian stance which spares nobody, from elementary school cliques to the President of the United States.
The Tiny Masters of Today are a refreshing breath of fresh air in a stale rock and roll world.

Included in Geoffrey Checkout's head,
was a list of particulars about his grandmothers bed:
1.)It was covered in a sickly grease
2.)It was bequethed to her by a Brigadier who had won the Victoria Cross for the fastest haircut
3.)It had taught him nothing about the world
Geoffrey Checkout would go over the list four times a day just to make sure he had left nothing out.
Just to be sure.
