A really loud explosion in a toy factory.
"...joyous, irresistible garage punk with sunshine choruses..."--The
Guardian
"Each of their songs was a barrage of distorted guitar noise and they obviously thought they were the coolest 11-year-olds on the planet. They quite possibly are."--The Telegraph
"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. It evokes images of gritty, black and white footage
of all-but-riots of performances in low ceilinged clubs of dubious
legality, and should be checked out by anyone and everyone with
a weakness for precocious, attitudinal punk thrills."--Drowned
in Sound
"...cuter and more
uplifting than a barbershop quartet of kittens humming Beach Boys
songs...frankly genius..."--Bizarre
"...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

"This record is two minutes and six seconds of lo-fi, high-intensity fun,... and should be checked out by anyone and everyone with a weakness for precocious, attitudinal punk thrills." --Drowned in Sound UK
"These kids are heroes."--NME
"...the coolest young band in the world right now."--Observer Music Monthly
"...remarkable"--Newsweek Magazine
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.
