Emerging from Johannesburg, South Africa, the friends and duo, Thula and Abdula, are making headlines as they make their way to the international stage, redefining the Alternative genre with sounds derived straight from the United States’ skate culture. While maintaining the edgy and defiant style of skaters, the group of friends continues to keep their sound fresh and new by tying in their homeland's rebellious spirit, creating a perfect alternative blend for anyone who might like a punk style.
This style is perfectly represented in their song Looney Bin, where you can hear the defiant style drawn out with gritty guitars and unfiltered energy, creating a perfect storm of emotions and hype guaranteed to get you moshing or even starting your own rebellion. As Twenty One Children continue to create bold, boundary-pushing music, the duo also continues to tease fans with a promise of new music coming out very soon. You can be on the lookout for this new music below.
