Yesterday’s Children emerged from the vibrant mid-60s Connecticut music scene, evolving from a garage-based instrumental outfit into one of the era’s most
compelling proto-heavy rock acts. As they evolved, they embraced the psychedelic and hard rock influences of the late 60s, crafting a heavier, more dynamic
style.
Under the determined management of brothers Dennis (vocals) & Richard (guitar) Croce’s father, Dominic, the band gained regional popularity. Their 1970
self-titled album, recorded in New York with producer Warren Schatz, showcased a mix of ferocious originals like “Hunter’s Moon” and “Sad Born Loser” alongside inspired covers. Though the album failed to achieve commercial success at the time, it has since been rediscovered as a cult favorite, celebrated for its raw energy and ahead-of-its-time heaviness.
Known for their immersive live shows—complete with custom-built light and sound systems—the band toured the East Coast in vintage hearses, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Despite their eventual breakup in 1972, Yesterday’s Children’s legacy endures, with their sole LP standing as a landmark in the transition from garage rock to the heavier sounds of the ’70s. A true hidden gem, their music continues to resonate with fans of psychedelic, hard rock, and proto-metal.
