The Detroit based Child Bite is a strange amalgam of contradictory elements coming from Danny Sperry's hectic drumming, Sean Clancy's fuzzed-out bass, Zach Norton's fragmented guitar lines, and Shawn Knight's guitar, keyboards, and signature vocal warble. Child Bite's blend of sophisticated noise-pop has enough time changes and feedback layering to please hipsters and experimental rock enthusiasts alike, recalling bands like Brainiac, early Deerhoof, and Pere Ubu.
Child Bite was formed in late 2005 with an experimental writing style in mind; to document a handful of improvised sessions and later edit them down to concise arrangements for the band to learn. The outcome of this process was their debut album Wild Feast, which was released in October of 2006 on Suburban Sprawl. To follow up, Child Bite recorded two songs for the Physical Education split with Stationary Odyssey released in May, 2007 on Joyful Noise. Recorded at Rustbelt Studios (ElectricSix, Don Caballero, D-12), the split EP includes the recent live staple "Beef Up" and set closer "Do the Physical" (featuring Korin Louise Cox of the Hard Lessons).
Gold Thriller is Child Bite's "second effort", which is a term we at Joyful Noise have always hated. It seems to imply that the band is striving toward perfection and desperately seeking the approval of the listener. Nothing could be further from the truth as far as Child Bite is concerned. The deceptively danceable music of this band only masks true experimental flair. As you would be able to tell from the sleeve of Mr. Bungle tattoos on Shawn Knight's arm, they've flirted with the darkest of experimental and progressive sounds, only to emerge with a very twisted take on (post?) indie rock.
