In 2005, Australian rock outfit Children Collide made their debut with We Three, Brave & True. Featuring the brilliant “We Are Amphibious”, the six-track EP didn’t so much announce the group’s arrival as it did kick the door down. In 2006, the equally impressive Glass Mountain Liars EP followed, & now the band is elated to present their full-length debut, The Long Now.

The 1st single, “Social Currency”, is a barnstorming disco-political frenzy that observes the perils of cool, “Musically I felt like it channelled the nu-rave and electro-clash stuff that has been surrounding us for the last couple of years so I had to take the piss with the lyrics,” explains Johnny. “So, it became about bandwagons and self-appreciation societies and people who make art to get blow jobs and keeping your finger on the pulse. Which sounds like a bit of a sook, but it’s not”.
