On Being Radiant

panmag asked me why I do Radiant:

by Adam Lewis

I’m not sure how I found myself walking up the battered old stairs to China Heights. It was the other side of a nondescript doorway in an empty alley not far from Central, one that I’d circled nervously for sometime before entering, still not quite sure what to expect or whether I was even meant to be there. I’d read about it online, and talked a couple of friends –  also online – into coming. Because hey, when you’re a suburban teen at a rugby school, that’s about all you’ve got. Most kids don’t even get that.
Shows to me were well-ordered arena extravaganzas; large-scale exercises in audience adulation. To have a singer charge at you as she flung into the audience was jarring; that it happened against a loud, unrefined racket made by her two very untrained bandmates made it exhilarating. It was mysterious, dangerous, dirty, and it was the first show that felt like a community. It was my first warehouse show.

Useless Children are streaming their new record in full via Bandcamp. It’s their best release yet - relentlessly loud yet very enjoyable. Dig in.
