December's Children are a new London-Based Garage Rock group infusing the raw primitive sounds of the blues music of the late 1920s with the elegant guitar and vocal melodies which died with Buddy Holly.

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.

Rock 'n Roll is Dead

It is with sadness that I have to report that a few weeks ago Jack Richardson left for New York City. Any future gigs will feature a new lineup. We all wish him the best of luck for the future. News regarding the remaining members of the group will be posted in due course.
