Twenty One Children - SCAB

    

    The boys in blue
    Are coming for you... 

  

  As is often the case on a Monday, I'm posting a song that went down well with the listeners in the chatroom for last night's Just Some Punk Songs show... 

  Twenty One Children (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093083635564) are a thrash punk trio from Soweto, South Africa who line up thus : Abdula (vocals), Thula (guitar) & Biko (drums). 

  They've just released their 3rd ep. It's packed with a generous 8 songs, released by Slovenly Recordings and titled After The Storm. Available on vinyl, cd and digital download you can find it here :  https://twentyonechildren.bandcamp.com/album/after-the-storm

  This is what Bandcamp says about them; "Formed by friends Thula and Abdula with drummer Biko, they fuse U.S. skate punk grit with Soweto’s heartbeat in a storm of noise, soul, and defiance. Combining the insolent attacks of Suicidal Tendencies & Reagan Youth with the crude, rural thud of Ngozi Family."

  Praised by the chatroom listeners for it's grittiness, this is the band's police story. It's called SCAB...
