O Children is a London-based four piece, made up from previous members of BoNO MUST DIE.
Their sound is of a post punk nature containing a deep vocal juxtaposed against simple but sharp drum beats, resulting in a sinister, gloomy feel.
The stand out track on their Myspace has to be Ezekiels Son - a slow-tempoed track containing prominent drum beats placed in front of a soundscape of synths, with the vocal reminiscent of Joy Division's Ian Curtis.
Debut single 'Ace Breasts' has a frenetic feel, with a psychadelic-sounding guitar riff exploding and repeating throughout, backed up by strong drums and bass. (note: not to be confused with strong D'n'B ;) - lea.)
'Ace Breasts' is to be released through Puregroove Records on the 13th June.
If you like what you hear and want to spend some pennies on seeing them live then future tourdates include:
6th June - The XX, O Children - The Macbeth, London

I hadn't heard about this single so thanks, just bought it!
They sound really good. Really interesting stuff. It's a shame they're only playing in London though!
