Songs For Children Proudly Presents Honeyblood

Taking inspiration from dark and cloudy ’90s indie rock luminaries like PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth, Lush and Throwing Muses, Honeyblood are a glorious combination of noise pop and indie rock. Songs for Children welcomes them to Singapore for their first time here.
