Child ~ »Child«
Release date: 26th April 2024
LP / Digipak / Digital

Repress of the Child self-titled debut album in brand new colored vinyls.

“Their slow, seedy and dirty stoner blues is the perfect remedy for a bad day as it oozes misery and despair like any proper blues album should. And that is the cure when you feel you’re in the gutter. Having only started out in 2012 the vibes this trio conjurs goes 40-50 years back into the heartland of the American swampy delta blues, hell they could have been with Robert Johnson when he struck a deal with the devil at the crossroad. It is that damned good, you hear!” – The Sludgelord

Child ~ »Blueside«
Release date: 26th April 2024
LP / Digipak / Digital

Repress of Child sophomore album »Blueside« in brand new coloured vinyls.

“Mathias Northway and co. managed to keep the fuzzy blues sound going with an extra stimulating drive to the effects to their audible fingerprint. The entirety of this forty minute long, five track record is nothing short of a regal and hypnotic journey that not even hallucinogens could interpret.” – Heavy Magazine

Child ~ »I«
Release date: 3rd May 2024
LP / Digipak / Digital

Repress of Child EP »I« in brand new coloured vinyls and for the first time in digipack.

“If you’re familiar with Child and are particularly a sucker for the keyboard, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news: It’s mostly gone. Fear not, though, as their fuzz-infused blues is alive and kicking and is sure to continue to appeal to a lot of fans of different genres.
The three songs follow as their lengths increase, starting with »Age Has Left Me Behind«, clocking in at 03:47 and ending with »Going Down Swinging«, a 10:20 jam which definitely raises the temperature and which I’m confident will be talked about for a long time.
In-between, one can find »The Other Song«, which is not just another song, but a sublime cover of Spirit’s »The Other Song«, originally released as part of the album »Son Of Spirit« in 1975. A great tune started only by Michael (drums) and Danny (bass), to whom Mathias and his guitar join after around 20 seconds, and later with a lovely vocal melody which stands throughout the whole song – the less fuzzy song of the EP but definitely a pure beauty (so is the original).” – More Fuzz

Child ~ »Soul Murder«
Release date: 3rd May 2024
LP / Digipak / Digital

Third Child album »Soul Murder« released for the first time on vinyl and digipak.

A new Child is born and this one is simply massive. A very cleverly constructed album. If you are in need of 70’s heavy blues, this is the one Child that will never disappoint. – Stoner Rock Army

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 is 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.

Child is:
Mathias Northway – Guitar / Vocals
