Criminally underrated
neta que si
Yes!
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/p6rB6BYov2o/w-d-xo.html and Radio Show! Very well done!
Its cause the singer is black goth isnst black and it never will be whole gothic culture is about not beeing black ....u habe to understand this mrs Lady sir...
@louizifer8922 what are you wafflin about? you can't even spell or use correct grammar 💀💀 embarrassing, making yourself look like a dumbass online
Still one of the best things I have heard in Modern Music.
i hope you also got to listen to dead disco dancer
I am mortified that I've only just discovered O. Children. They've recreated the sounds of my teenage years perfectly without becoming some cheap imitation. Suddenly, I'm a big fan. This is grown up music for grown up people.
Exact same here. Completely off my radar
I discovered them 12 years ago when I was 17. They were the first post-punk band I had ever listened to. In a matter of a month, my whole music taste changed. I have been listening to post-punk ever since
Yes. Perfect dark 80s post punk sound.
This song just turned me into a vampire.
It's 2019 and I desperately want O. Children to release a 3rd album... I need it!!
I hope this band gets HUGE!! This song is so powerful!!
:( It won't happen... tobi got trough some difficulties and they splited a few years for personal reasons.
@@belisare4397 he's debuting solo tomorrow in Portugal...
@@AdolfoM cool! Yeah but with his own songs I guess
Good news! He just posted on Reddit about how he is gonna pick up music again! Belisare was right, he was going through some difficulties, but that now he is motivated again to make music.
Full story of the man himself:
''I'm an independent artist in an unusual situation (explained below). I'm looking for people with more experience and recent knowledge of Independent life. I'd like them to drop some knowledge on my situation and guide me through it. If this works out I aim to use it to both release better music and give back to the Independent community 💡.
Ok so 10 years ago I wrote, recorded and independently released two albums and a host of other singles, remix etc releases( vinyl via a distributor) that would almost always receive critically prositive to mixed reviews but was loved and I mean LOVED by the underground. I was a kid so never did it for the money and I got to have some amazing experiences until life took it's toll and a series of tragedies meant that I had to take a break from music and get better.
Fast forward to 10 years later and after years of therapy and self realisation I decide I'm ready to start making music again. I reach out to old music industry acquaintances for advice and maybe a leg-up but the majority are ghosts nowhere to be seen. Ok. So I research. I start looking up all about DSPs and how all this stuff I heard about while focusing on my Vinyl releases while my distro did all the online work. I hear about claiming a Spotify artist profile so I claim one for my new project. I get to work on my new project I'm plugging, I'm trying to make contacts and I'm getting good, steady support. I'm content. I then see the option to link my other project (the 10 y/o one). A few days go by and I am in. Holy shit. 1.2+ million all time streams, most of those accrued in the last 2 years. At least 2 different songs a week on the discover weekly playlist...and not a fluke. This has been a regular occurrence for quite some time. The debut single I released 10 years ago has taken on a new life of its own also sitting at nearly 1m streams (I'm pretty sure it will be there by the end of the month 🤞. And I only just found out. I'm speechless I'm very happy. Over the moon even. But confused. All I know is that this is completely fan and playlist driven, completely independent and I own my masters. I keep trying to tell my people but they don't seem to be taking me seriously and I really think they might miss an opportunity but holy shit this feels amazing
Help me Reddit! Wtf do I do now? 😅''

His voice is so warm there is something very soothing about low vocals like this
I'd describe it as a "velvety baritone"
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/p6rB6BYov2o/w-d-xo.html and Radio Show! Very well done!
2023 Brazil here!
this song is fantastic,the singer has a great voice
!!!!!!!
SO much! so deep and rich
This song is so fucking good. Way underrated.
This song is up there with the best of Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Sisters etc who I am old enough to have seen live.
Tobi’s vocals are perfection.
I just discovered this band! where have I been all this time! >,
enjoy
Welcome
@@LoveToDeatHxCxDxF Don't...
If he/she did, good that he/she is here now.
@@LoveToDeatHxCxDxF heck no! I listen to that good music😎🤘🏼 been on a binge to find more good music💚🖤
Don't beat urself
..I just stumbled n2 them now!?!
Discovering this band a few weeks ago and hearing this song is such a fever dream like HOW ARE YOU GUYS THIS GOOD
This is fucking fantastic. Goth rock revival!
i've discovered this band embarrassingly late
Same here. Today to be exact. Holy fucking shit where the fuck was I when this came out? I typically have my ears in multiple scenes and this escaped me. Better late than never.
Can't believe I only just found out about this group like . . . two weeks ago. Absolutely incredible. I swear I've had this song on constant repeat on my Spotify since then. I've also gotten a few other people into it is well. Really rare to find a true goth band that has such a unique sound like this.
did you know that their first name was bono must die and bono sued them and they were forced to change the name of the band.
Check out HAPAX if you don't know them yet. Goes more in the direction of Dark Wave, but I would also classify it with Goth. For me the best band and also a unique sound.
I legit listen to this song like 30 times a day. Gives me goosebumps everytime. 🖤
Oh God, same. lol
Same
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/p6rB6BYov2o/w-d-xo.html and Radio Show! Very well done!
These guys are fn great! i don't want to label this band because they got their own sound but if anyone could revive the dark melodic sound of the 80s its these guys.
Holy smokes, I got chills listening to this. I’m in love 🖤
That black fluid on the walls? Pure Gothinium.
This song is ridiculously addictive!
Sisters of Mercy and Joy Division going on in there. This song is pure quality goth...tight sound. Perfect goth.
_RUINS [songtext]
Valentine, there's no-one left to part from you and I,
Bandits from the east have squeezed us dry,
And if we should be calm before we lay,
We'll thank our lucky stars for yesterday.
Killin' time, cruising round the ruins in the sun,
Seething blood embezzled by this gun,
Don't dare make a peep before they go,
Not a shiver, from head to toe.
Stick with me,
Go mad here,
Don't be scared,
I'm here.
Out of the shadows, I'm cutting and screaming,
Protecting your honour, with a shot in my hand,
A number knife gun, I'm cutting and kicking,
The sand of the desert, the eyes of the dammed,
I've got nothing to say, I feel fine I'm okay,
I don't have nothing to say, i feel fine i'm ok.
You gotta run, run, run, run, run,
Don't let them be crying, with the blood in my hands.
Valentine, the ruins are no place for you to play.
They'll kill you if you come back here again,
The ruins are no place for you to play,
They'll kill you if you come back here again,
Save yourself and run down to the sea,
Find a place to lay and wait for me,
The ruins are no place for you to play.
They'll kill you if you come back here again.
They'll kill you if you come back here again.
Klaus Maus
I thought it was "Outnumbered, outgunned, I'm cutting and screaming".
@@goldcloak It is. People keep copying and sharing the same incorrect lyrics. Makes me crazy. It's also "...apart from you and I...".
Thanks, i'll translate this to spanish so my fellow people can enjpy this even more
Weird. About three months ago Dead Disco Dancer popped up on my Spotify weekly recommend playlist, and it kind of rang a bell. A few days ago Ruins came up too, and it was then I remembered. I’d seen these guys about 10 years ago in London, supporting someone (maybe Esben and the Witch) at Elektrowerks and they were fantastic. Tobi was an incredible frontman. Anyway I forgot all about them for 10 years and now I’m obsessed with this track. It’s nigh on perfect.
saw them in prague in 2012 and was instantly hooked
Had the good fortune to see these fellas live in Nottingham back in the day...sublime!
These guys were great
Where is that gem of a band gone? Such a beautiful deep voice!
Guys we need more of this... a lot more
This is a cracking bloody track pure brilliance -very Sisters
!!!!! How tf did I only find out about this band rn???? I feel cheated this sounds so good 😭😭💖💖
me too
th-cam.com/video/PqpL0roRJKw/w-d-xo.html Goes by Okandi now.
Love this song and the band. So original and yet great references to post punk goth rock. Fabulous, we need more!
one of the nicest people I ever worked with.
I love this cold-tragedy side....
like Sshe Wants Revange....
Greatest band you’ve never heard of!
We played this on my first fashion show :)
An absolute masterpiece - I m from the 80 s undeground scene and this has it all - and more. The heart!
This track is so good and well-produced it kills me. I still play it in clubs whenever I can!
This song… this song marks my life 🖤💥🖤
2020 and I need this band back!
th-cam.com/video/pQDQkWaavzo/w-d-xo.html I find just EP, more synth, similar Camouflage :)

Que voz ...del vocalista....lo maximo
Brilliant! Retro, Sisters of Mercy vibe.
Terry Barham This corrosion, Marian....
Me parece que exageras un poco.☻
@@olabarrietadunn para nada. Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus.. it's there, the influence.
Quarantaine 2020, listening to this puts a smile on my face and a tear on my cheek
Very darkwave. Beautiful
Amei essa banda 🥰🥰🥰 Sombria e super retrô 🥰
never tired of this song...masterpiece!
Full of meaning, it's like he's predicting the apocalypse... cool stuff! My new favourite song :)
I'm glad you exists
Listening to this late at night 2021🔊
Damn. One of my favorites ✌🏾🤘🏾🎩
Hi. I'm a black goth and metalhead guy. This is one of my favorite goth bands besides Bauhaus.
Can't stop hitting repeat. Phenomenal song!
Also, not sure if I'm the only one but I get ultra Silent Hill vibes from this. Especially at the beginning with the imagery of the spinning fan and the guitar that comes in.
This song is retro 80's I LOVE IT! A little flock of seagulls and INXS combined.
This is amazing. On repeat. Goosebumps all over... Would love to see you live.
I really wish they still made music like this
this song grabs you by your proverbial balls and overwhelms you with its greatness!
What a voice!
I just can not stop fucking listening to this. I think O.Children are going to be one of my favorite bands.
This song should have been featured at all the major music award shows. I even wrote to U2 and tried to get them to work with you. I'm so disappointed with that industry. You really make use of that 'golden voice' in a way we've never heard before.
LOVE it on first listen and it just gets better and better!!
Such a beautiful voice
How have I not heard of this band until now? they're amazing
Damn I miss you guys so much, another band gone too soon!
Do u know something about the band that I don't? I mean...do you know that they've broken up?
@@manlenai6786 I think I've read it somewhere, an old post on their facebook page or something like that. I know that the singer is making music under 'Okandi' now.
to me this sounds like a mixture of joy division and interpol, and I love it =D
doooooon't beeeeee scaredddd!
That voice is amazing!
This band is new for me,but I like them very much.And not only one song.They sound interresting,powerful,and have a real good singer.
I'm so grateful for this band 💋🙏
goosebumps!!! this is excellent!!!
Awesome band!
This sounds so good oh my lord
Come back boys
Fabulous..............
Had this album nearly a year, and I'm still loving it, even bought the remix album too. Ruins and Heels are my favourite tracks. Great vocals.
Very underrated band....true injustics
Que voz, que tudo, amo essa música
Omg thank you for uploading!!! And ty Facebook for publishing an old memory status that made me remember this amazing song, long time no listen
Tobi O’Kandi, sua voz é incrível.
stumbled across these at Glastonbury whilst wandering about. They were excellent. :)
I can't get enough of it! over and over and over again.....just don't dissapear
One of the most beautiful voices I ever hearded.The music is simply TOP.
Still listening in 2019.
Молодцы. Музыка и вокал, что надо.
Великолепны!!!!!!!!!!!
This song always reminds me of the old Charnel House goth nights in Newcastle. Always filled the dancefloor.
tobi is the shit. can't wait for them to come to the states
Hard clube OPorto, thanks for the good music,❤
they will be huge.
This track got me into o.children having seen them support Gary Numan.
epic track
absolutely a great band....I have not been inspired for long time. This is fine, really fine...
not olny is this the best song in a long time but the lead vocal is one hot piece of chocolate~~
i cant stop listening to this song...
Outstanding.
One of the best songs heard over a long time! can't get enough!
"seeing blood embezzled by this gun" that's good stuff
Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy should make with them an Album. Guys this band is really awesome stuff!
Amazing voice. I hear this song in radio and now i hear still in my head over and over. Verry addictive
This is beautiful - wish I discovered it earlier!!
This is a masterpiece
i can really understand this sort of music, and the way the sound its, its beautiful.. i very nice lyrics.. also i get the mixture of genre, interpol and joy division.. its absolutely worthy of time.. still feeling the dark music of the early years.. lovely.. i have them on old goth rock compilation.. its keep my heart beating.. :) o.children..
Happy Birthday to me! Yaaay! Imi innebunesc vecinii! The party has started!!!
Perfect!
