The rising indie force of nature take the capital by storm
Tags: Childhood
5 February, 2015: Rising indie heroes Childhood return to take the capital by storm with a sweaty, adrenaline-fuelled show at XOYO, London. Check out our 12 exclusive photos from the gig here.
Childhood’s lead singer Ben Romans Hopcroft has big hair and an even bigger voice, switching from angel-like falsettos to raw growls against bouncy, sun-drenched instrumentals. The four-piece produce dreamy, jangly lo-fi guitar pop to dance about. The result? A world of woozy reverb and distorted feedback not accessible outside a world of narcotics.
Throughout, Childhood attack their set with a ferocious enthusiasm and confidence, and that, along with such an infectious sound, means tonight can safely be described as a triumph for a band set for big things.
