Bubble Wrap….The name itself brings back thoughts of that satisfying feeling of popping those little bubbles between your fingers (or stomping on them for maximum sound effects). Eric Herman and the Thunder Puppies has managed to create an album that is just as fun and satisfying as it’s namesake.

Beloved by families nationwide, Eric Herman’s warm and witty music videos have received over 50 million views on YouTube; his body of work also includes seven award-winning albums plus an award-winning DVD. With the June 10 release of Bubble Wrap, a hard poppin’ new family music album by Eric Herman and the Thunder Puppies — Eric’s first album backed by the full compliment of his band — Eric Herman is poised to take his place in the pantheon of today’s kindie music luminaries.

At once memorable, meaningful, and masterful, Bubble Wrap’s hook-filled songs hit on a variety of issues and experiences portrayed in the life of its kid protagonist — obsessions with bubble wrap and cell phones, hilarious tactical retreats to avoid bath time, the blues of a Monday morning at school, and the supreme joy of an exhilarating theme park excursion, paired with songs about more weighty matters like stage fright, a best friend moving away, and even the death of a parent.

Musically vibrant and diverse, with the inclusion of guest spots by Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet of Trout Fishing in America, Mister G, Children’s Poet Laureate Kenn Nesbitt, Roger Day, and more, Bubble Wrap will inspire repeated pops (into the CD player), much like its eponymous namesake.

Our Thoughts

I honestly can not say enough about this new album. This was our first introduction to the music of Eric Herman and I have to say he is amazing. The title track is fun and we love it as much as bubble wrap! This CD is amazing in the way it covers everything from fun trying to avoid a bath to the seriousness of loss (Eric and his children recently experienced the loss of their wife and mother). This is a must have for the littles in your life and one of our favorites this summer.

This new album is available now on Amazon where you can download or buy the CD. Check out the hilarious video for the title track “Bubble Wrap” below!
