biographical info

“Childplay will rip your face off! Cool stuff!" JOE SHITHEAD KEITHLEY / D.O.A.  /  Sudden Death Records      

"Childsplay rocks! This young band plays with the authority of players twice their age and experience. Their sound is raw and authentic. No artifice here - these guys know and love this genre of music and it shows!"  LEE AARON / Singer / Songwriter / Performer       

“If you think the basic Rock or Punk formula is over and done with you need to see the young new band Childsplay.  At a tender age they are making the old formulas fresh, and they are making it their own.  I think they turn out a believable performance, which is more than you can say for many successful acts out there with 10 times the experience.” HOWARD REDEKOPP / 54-40  /  Tegan and Sara  /  You Say Party! We Say Die!  /  The New Pornographers  /  Mother Mother  /  etc.     

It's not your little brother's type of punk.  It's that real stuff reminiscent of California in the late 70's.  HARD!  Unlike a lot of kids today, Jaden, William and Levin are keen to the fact that the world is a pretty messed up place.  Great energy, writing and musicianship belie their relatively short time in the game.  Get them onto your iPod and head into the streets and be mad about something!

Childsplay is an explosive young band that has hit the music scene hard! This young Vancouver band rock out in true punk form. Their edgy original material is fast, aggressive and very catchy!

They have performed with such bands as Sloan, Daniel Wesley and Ten Second Epic.They headlined the BC Summer Games in Kelowna.   Childsplay was chosen as "H.E.A.R.s" artist of the month. The only Vancouver band to ever be chosen! H.E.A.R.- Hearing Education and Awareness for Rockers, Inc. is an organization out of San Francisco. Other bands on their "Artist of the month" list include Metallica, Pete Towndshend and Roger Daltry of the Who, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., The Foo Fighters, Bob Dylan, The Killers, Pat Benatar, Green Day and many, many more.
