Twenty One Children
After The Storm
TWENTY ONE CHILDREN are the riotous punk pulse of Johannesburg a fearless trio tearing up South Africa's alt-music rulebook. Formed by friends Thula and Abdula with drummer Biko, they fuse U.S. skate punk grit with Soweto's heartbeat in a storm of noise, soul, and defiance. Combining the insolent attacks of Suicidal Tendencies & Reagan Youth with the crude, rural thud of Ngozi Family, the 'Children are much more than just another punk band. Fueled by wit and DIY spirit, they're a movement building skate parks, hosting benefit shows, and igniting stages from Joburg to Kenya to the UK. In 2025 they toured the UK, shared the stage with proto-punk legends DEATH at We're Loud Fest in Kenya, and played loads of packed DIY gigs in South Africa and they're just getting started. 2026 ain't just another year it's the Year of Twenty One.
