Child's Play Tickets

Child's Play formed in 1983 in Baltimore, Maryland, building a strong local following before signing with Chrysalis in 1989. The band blends gritty guitar work with catchy hooks, delivering a sound that resonated with fans across the East Coast and beyond. Their early work laid a foundation for a lasting presence in the rock scene, with live performances that showcased their energy and musicianship.

In 1990, they released Rat Race, produced by Howard Benson with a new lineup featuring Marion Idzi on bass and Brian Jack on lead vocals. The album spawned memorable singles such as Day After Night, Wind, and Rat Race, which earned MTV exposure and solidified their place in the era’s rock landscape. The follow-up, Long Way (1993), was produced by John Allen and Nicky Kay, continuing their tradition of punchy riffs and memorable melodies.

Before Rat Race, their debut EP Ruff House (1986) on Rampant Records set the stage for their breakout moment. More recently, archival material and new releases have kept the band's legacy alive. 2025 brought Rat Races & Reunions: The Lost Tapes, a collection that includes archival tracks and fresh material, with singles like L.H. Blues (John Allen Remix) contributing to the ongoing story of Child's Play. Live appearances in 2025 included the M3 Rock Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD, and a SPAC fundraiser event, with activity documented across Concert Archives and related pages. The band maintains an active online presence through iHeart and Shazam listings, with John Allen spearheading new material for 2025.
