Not many bands have survived the decade, but a band coming extremely close to doing so are none other than Neils Children.
From the benchmark early singles such as "Come Down," "I Hate Models" and the mini-LP "Change/Return/Success," Neils Children have always been somewhat ahead of the pack during their 8 year existence. With their early sound of English psychedelic punk causing waves among the UK underground, they looked to take over the indie scene at one point: "We must have been one of the first bands to fuse Syd Barrett freakouts and Gang Of Four spikiness over the last 10 years," says singer John Linger, "and we could have stuck with it..."
But Neils Children never stay in one place too long.
Rather than rest on their laurels, they decided to change and develop their sound to include new influences such as Orange Juice, Josef K, The Monochrome Set and The Idle Race. "It seemed strange to us that we were missing the fact that most of our influences were highly melodic, whether obviously melodic or not. We just went back and listened to what made those bands great, which was the combination of experimentation and melodies," says bass player Keith.
These influences combined to produce the singles "Another Day" and "You Didn't Care," and the now legendary unreleased LP "Pop: Aural."
Finding like minded contemporaries, the band have played many key shows over the last year, including a support tour with old friends The Horrors and new friends Klaxons although the hottest show of 2008 must have been the 100 Club show in February, which included the must-see line up of Hatcham Social, Electricity In Our Homes and Neils Children.
This brand new exclusive single "Reflective/Surface" shows the bands new melodic and edgy sound!
