Melbourne-based Heavy Blues specialists Child issue their new studio full-length “Rebirth” through Heavy Psych Sounds Records today.
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. This is Child. Living for their art, the pubs, the booze, the endless highways and the blues is what makes this band who they are.
Three years after the release of their acclaimed full-length “Soul Murder,” Child has sealed a worldwide deal with Heavy Psych Sounds Records for the release of their new album “Rebirth” this Summer, marking a definitive shift in their creative trajectory. Moving beyond their established stripped-down Blues Rock sound, Child showcases a refined focus on songwriting, revealing the heart of their message: this new record serves as an unfiltered dialogue with the self, confronting the obstacles that block our evolution and demanding the strength to overcome them. It is a gritty, honest document of survival and the messy beauty of becoming who you are meant to be.

Formed in the crucible of Melbourne’s underground in 2012, Child is a Blues power trio that channels the primal fury of Heavy Rock through a deep, Psychedelic, and soulful blues tradition. Often compared to Heavy Rock legends like Black Sabbath and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Child creates a visceral musical experience that is both raw and artfully crafted. The band has carved out a formidable reputation for its explosive and immersive live performances. Their live shows are revered as a pilgrimage for those who worship at what they call “the electric church,” a space where music is a powerful and communal spiritual experience.
By consistently touring nationally and internationally, Child has become a fixture of the global Stoner and Heavy Rock scenes. Yet, their roots remain firmly planted in Melbourne, a city they’ve honored with legendary residencies at venues like the iconic Cherry Bar. They possess an intense passion for the blues, viewing it not just as a genre but as a wellspring of emotion and a vehicle for sonic freedom. For them, every performance is a unique, spontaneous act—a reflection of their deep-seated belief in the power and freedom of music. They are perpetual sonic seekers, living for the road, the amps, and the soul-stirring intensity of their heavy blues odyssey.
