Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys - "Lonely Children"

Our very favorite steamcrunk band Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys have released their submission for the 2019 NPR Tiny Desk Concert Contest, and it's a new song! (At least I can't find this song on any of their previous releases, but I could be wrong...) "Lonely Children" follows along with their other most recent single, "Dino Domina," by being a faster, more intense song. Since it's a Tiny Desk entry, it's a more stripped down, seated version, so I simply can't wait for the full on rock song this promises to be. Plus, it features some of the most hardcore viola action you've ever heard. 

You can watch the Tiny Desk submission video for "Lonely Children" below. Walter Sickert & The Army of Broken Toys's new album, War Gospel, is set to be released this year. For more on the band, check out their Facebook and Twitter. If you happen to be in the Boston area, you can see them April 12 at Oberon in Cambridge, May 2 at The Sinclair in Cambridge for the TRC Fest, and May 11 on the Waltham common as part of the Watch City Steampunk Festival!
