BABY is former Shudder To Think front man Craig Wedren's new pop brainchild. The spark for Baby was simply to take a familiar formula into uncharted territory. "I tinkered with a sequencer and guitar until the music made me laugh and I ran around the room," says Craig. "Then I called my friends and we started a band."
Some of Craig's "friends" and fellow members in BABY include Guitarist Lee Mars (Nine Inch Nails), bassist Brad Vander Ark (The Verve Pipe), drummer Charles Scott (Shudder To Think), and the sexy female vocalists Amy Miles and Alex Edenborough.
In New York City, scattered sold-out shows at The Knitting Factory and Pianos have hinted that the universe is ready for Baby's eclectic, electric brand of "future roller-metal," a wholly unique take on pop which will take on and shake like a snow-globe all of your ideas about what rocks, what's sexy, and what's real.
For Craig Wedren - who recently wrote the scores for School of Rock, The Secret Lives of Dentists, Laurel Canyon, and Roger Doger - it was only natural to find something relevant and new to "exorcise rock and roll ghosts, skeletons, memories, and melodies."
"After nearly fifteen years of fronting Shudder to Think, I wanted to unlearn and clean the slate, " says the eccentric songwriter and film composer. "I wanted to make an actual relevant new pop group to destroy all of the sh*t and to be The Sh*t. And I had to do it NOW!" Before creating BABY, Wedren worked with Madonna producer Mirwais on an electronic version of The Rolling Stones classic "Miss You." Craig leant his voice and production skills to the Wedren/Mirwais "Miss You" which quickly became a hit in France and a club staple through out the rest of Europe.
BABY's debut release will be available world wide on July 6th, 2004 on Wedren's own Nerveland Recordings. Visit www.babynyc.com or www.craigwedren.com for more information.

Totally Pimptabulous!
author: John Hord
I've been listening to this buncha songs for a few months now and they still drive me crazy! Everything I love about Craig in a bright and shiny new wrapper. Clearly there is nothing left to prove and the music is its own reward.

absolutely amazing... pure aural sex candy
author: bryan
i am immediatley struck by a bittersweet sense of injustice upon hearing this because i would hate to think that this release will simply fade away without even geeting a chance to rear its beautiful head and let the world taste it... it's simply too good to remain unnoticed... well crafted/written songs, heart pumping sexy driven choruses, and pure genius programming/manipulation and envelope pushing...will 'day ditty' ever be laid to rest? hopefully not... i only want more! it's not fair! this cd just make me WANT...simply WANT...
well done baby and thank you.

Pop Music for the Thinking Man
author: Brian St. John
Although this album might lack the sonic grunt fans of Wedren's former group Shudder To Think are used to, Baby wield their pop hooks like an Olympic fencing team. This record will enhance any experience, whether driving, partying, etc. A Baby-ized version of STT's "Day Diddy," by the way, was an absolute surprise and a delight to hear.
