Band shirts for kids: not a fashion trend!

For a very long time, rock kids were wearing regular or rather childish themed shirts. But in recent years, more and more parents are dressing their child in music band shirts.

Ten weirdest names that our music heroes have given their children 

We’ve always know that famous artists often give their children the weirdest names. But why? Opinions are different. Some say that artists come up with strange names for their kids because they themselves are weird or different, so the same should go for their children.

With the school holidays almost upon us, you might wonder how on earth you’re going to keep your kids busy for six weeks. You will undoubtedly hear the words ‘I’m bored’ in the near future.

Do you also enjoy making music or listening to music with your kids? We most certainly do! But did you know that besides being enjoyable, music also makes your child smarter? And that’s not all.
