Yesterday’s Children – YESTERDAY’S CHILDREN***

Paranoia/Sad Born Loser/What Of I/She’s Easy/Sailing/Providence Bummer/Evil Woman/Hunter’s Moon

Eponymous sole album from the obscure Connecticut psychedelic garage band Yesterday’s Children. Their musical style is hard rock bordering on heavy metal.

“Consistently a really superb heavy psych with some hard rock, garage and boogie moves, fuzzy guitars, great vocal work and a raunchy, potential and powerful sound. Is a perfect amalgam between the late-60s garage psych with the early-70s hard rock.”

“Very heavy and impressive album. Sailing, Evil Woman, Hunter's Moon and Sad Born Loser have some great heavy psych riffing. I wouldn't call this very original even for the time though, but it's a great listen, especially for fans of heavy psychedelic or early heavy metal.”

“This one is a killer album. Both sides are very special and include one awesome rocker after another. Eight songs in here and none of them are filler. I could name any of these songs as a highlight since all are equally impressive.”

“Yet another late 60s band lost in the smoky mist of time. Its interesting how aggressive is the one and only record that Yesterday’s Children gave us. Essentially a record performed by nimble musicians in raw fashion, it’s a non-specific amalgam of early hard rock ideas presented with some song acumen to preserve their legacy.”

“Pretty rockin' American psychedelic stuff from 1969. The guitar is very impressive especially on the tracks Sailing and Hunter's Moon. After listening to the album a few times, it grows on you and you just want to rock out. If there is such a thing as psychedelic metal, some of this perfectly embodies it. There are a couple of average songs that flatten out the overall prestige of the album, but for the most part, it is a great slice of psychedelic hard rock.”

“Excellent album. Nearly every song is five stars. Many have dark riffs and thundering drums that are echoed in later metal bands. It's a shame they didn't make any other records.”
