O. Children

Risen from the ashes of Bono Must Die, O Children's are glossed over everyone's lips in the East End scene.

" The sense-of-humour wing of the new goths, O. Children look like extras from The Lost Boys and sound like early Bunnymen distilled through Billy Idol schlock.

Sure, frontman Tobias, formerly of Bono Must Die and about eight foot tall, cuts an eldritch dash through black guitar noise, but you can't take it too seriously with songs like 'Ace Breasts', which is like 'California Uber Alles' by Dead Kennedys, apart from being about tits.

Like Nick Cave, writer of the song after which they are named, they're smart enough to know that gothic doesn't have to mean po-faced."- NME
