Number 6: What do you want?
Number 2: We want information.
Number 6: Whose side are you on?
Number 2: That would be telling, we want information, information information.

‘We are out to destroy rock'n'roll'. Neil's Children are a band not to make false statements. And with Neil's Children, London is not burning, its a fucking blitzgreig of the Johnn Lydon 1980 dream where kraut-rock, dub, psychedelia and disco were all valid influences and set side-by-side in punk-ravaged England. Neil's Children have come to realise his fracture dream and the cassette played ... Neil's Children!

But Neil's Children? What are they? Who are they? John Linger (Singer/Guitarist), James Hair (Bass) and Brendon Jacobs (Drums); all neo-psychedelic t eenage droogs that thrive in a horrorist world. They exploded onto the musical scene with their first single ‘Come Down', a heroin-shiver mixed in with the power chords of '71 Who before it collasped into the fuzzed-out punk rock nightmare of Kubrick's dream and direct to your stylus. People have been asking that question. And the cassette played ... Neil's Children!

An unholy trio bleeding nothing but jagged slices of freakbeat and angular noise on a quest to unite the two side of the brain and achieve TOTAL ENLIGHTMENT through weapons-grade punk rock and psychedelia. Their next single ‘I Hate Models' was a frantic drumming PROTEST dervish against English oneupmanship that b-b-buzzed down the 1,000 mph super-anti-fashion-highway until it flungs itself off the tallest building and landed on shattered copies of Dead Kennedy's late eighties masterpieces. And the cassette played ….NEIL'S CHILDREN!

Neil's Children come from the reimagined lands of darkest 70s sci-fi film futures to infect the UK with their drooged-out horror psychedelia. Poptones have caught up on their mission and captured their strangulated guitar and vocals, their echoed-out-sci-fi-punk rok of Public Image Limited, their propulsive freak-outs that set sail on on the Creation's mighty psychedelic squalls of feedback and Wobble's basslines all within in a secured mod-beat. And the cassette played … NEIL'S CHILDREN!

Their noise has plagued England for the past year and they have toured with everyone from Bloc Party, Art Brut and classic psychedelic sixties freaksters Chocolate Watch Band. They make their own clothes. They cut their own hair. They make their own world. Why don't you join them? Poptones are proud to present Neil's Children.

Number 2: You are, Number 6.
Number 6: I am not a Number. I am a person.
