Children Collide

Overview

Go forth, children! Collide! Launching their highly anticipated second album after the success of 2008's The Long Now, tempered trio Children Collide are set to bring Sydney stages a little too close to the sun, with a fiery avalanche of sound, surrealism and flannelette sass ready to burn up unsuspecting Sydney stages. With a record to sell, new numbers 'Jellylegs' and 'My Eagle' are sure to nestle amidst smouldering favourites as their gritty brand of flapping rock hurtles itself across the country next month.

With a new LP dubbed after British physicist John Ellis' groundbreaking theoretical work, Theory of Everything intends to ensnare that intrinsic human need to explain the unexplainable and draw upon that insatiable need to consistently utilise physics to justify all the elementary connections between nature and the universe.

But it's all art vs. science around here, as CC's latest venture delves into the spiritual unknown and the fortune teller's booth. Cheekily marketing themselves through wars of theology and mysticism, the band are offering their newly launched 'Children Collide Singles Club' the gift of tarot cards for their loyalty rather than a set of test tubes. With their undauntedly loud brand of indie punk generally punching both eardrums and airwaves, CC's youthful capture of musical idealism has thus taken a more alchemic form on this sophomore release, as lead vocalist Johnny Mackay cites a need for listeners to interpret at will. Spin that Wheel of Fortune.
