Useless children are a
noise rock band hailing from Melbourne. They released this gem in 2009 on Exo Records
(they’ve since released another LP featuring a track with Rick Feedtime and they
have a video clip for the song “Walk Away” featuring David Yeow as a creepy janitor). It was a bit of a
relief finding something local and a bit lighter on the sludge side. Don’t get
me wrong band’s like Dead, Inappropriate Tough Guy Behavior and Firewitch are
great but… I have this theory (yet to be proven or perhaps not) that if all I listen
to is sludge then I’ll turn into slime. Useless Children’s album Sky Is Falling
is bit more punk or rock mabey, I’ve seen them called hardcore before but I’m not quite sure
if the bill fits. Sky falling is a hard and fast experience, nice and riffy
full distortion and broken wild screams from gifted Cinta Masters (drums /
vocals also of The Emergency, Gold Tango and Aktion Unit) the kind of music
that will leave you average noise rock enthusiast gleeful.
