Frequently compared to a cross between Brian Jones era Rolling Stones and The Velvet Underground, December's Children play exclusively original songs which echo a bygone age in modern music. With each member of the band having come from other performing groups before this one, there is a certain fluidity between the musicians scarcely seen in music today. Regularly performing across London, December's Children are going from strength to strength with an evergrowing portfolio of hard-hitting lyrics and unforgettable guitar lines destined for a long future.
The group's founder, front and prominent songwriter, Jack Richardson has a certain aura of Rock's elite, which can be heard best in his lyrics. The juxtaposition of politically motivating songs as "Dressed Like A Priest" with the simplicity of "Love You" demonstrates a Rousseau-like quality to both the set, and his personality. The rapport between Jack and bass player Marco is sincere, and a love of the songs throughout the group is evident. The ocassional harmony vocals across both sides of the mic give a gentle nod towards the obvious duos of the past. The group's only conflict is between influences.
Marco: A dedicated follower of The Beatles and David Bowie.
Jack: Inspired by The Rolling Stones and The Velvet Underground.
Lindsay: A blues fanatic through and through.
The band are currently in discussions over recording a debut album in the coming months.
