TWENTY ONE CHILDREN "After The Storm" CD

Malaria infected mosquitos everywhere need to watch their backs. The most ferocious Twenty One Children of Soweto are geared to exterminate all filth but their own, as they again join forces with Slovenly Recordings for an exercise in max irritability, and a structured plan with which to execute it. Immediately following the shockwaves of their explosive debut 7inch, the ‘Children return with a mini album’s worth of heavy distortion and a shit ton of bad attitude combining the insolent attack of Reagan Youth with the crude, rural thud of Ngozi Family. Twenty One Children are the riotous punk pulse of Johannesburg — a fearless trio tearing up the rulebook and rewriting South Africa’s alt-music playbook. Born from the bond between friends Thula and Abdula completed by drummer Biko, their sound fuses the grit of U.S. skate punk with the heartbeat of Soweto, erupting in a whirlwind of noise, soul, and subversion. With sharp wit and an unshakable DIY ethos, they’re not just a band — they’re a movement. From building the local skate park to throwing benefit shows for schoolbooks, Twenty One Children bleed community. Their music crackles with the defiance of Dead Kennedys, yet pulses with a distinctly homegrown fire. Fresh off turning heads in the UK at The Great Escape and Dot To Dot, they're only just getting started. 2025 isn’t just another year — it’s the Year of Twenty One.
