03. Standing On My Tail
04. Feels Like Hell
05. Soul Murder
06. Moment In Time

Combine the heavy emotion of the blues, the tone and raw power of hard rock, the finesse of soul and a twist of 60’s psychedelia. It will give you a visceral musical experience that plays directly to your being. That such experience would be Child. Living for their art, the pubs, the booze, the endless highways and the blues is what makes this band who they are.
Child are a must see for those who are worshippers at “the electric church”. The freedom and power of a live performance is important to Child in their approach to music, endeavouring to never perform the same way twice. They look forward to once again bringing this to the world on their continued search for sonic paradise.

Since the release of their runaway self-titled debut in 2014, Child have continued to develop their unique brand of heavy blues through constant writing and extensive national/international touring. The band released the follow-up »Blueside« in December 2016, which builds on this foundation to deliver a disc of pure sonic expression whilst following in the long tradition of the blues. 2018 saw the release of Child’s first EP, simply titled »I«. Recorded live to tape, »I« is a glimpse into the boundless directions that could be taken on upcoming releases. The band’s long-awaited third album »Soul Murder« was released in February 2023.
