Child Bite is an American punk/metal band [1] formed in 2005 in Detroit, Michigan. The band's core members are founding vocalist Shawn Knight [2] [3] and longtime bassist Sean Clancy. [4] Child Bite's sound has been described as "enormous and predatory, from the baleful rhythm section to Shawn Knight's [frightening vocals]." [5] [6] [7]
In the spring of 2013, the band released a split 7-inch with David Yow of Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid. [8] Morbid Hits, a collection of Anal Cunt cover songs, was released exclusively as a 5-inch vinyl record in early 2014 via Housecore Records. This release featured the band being fronted by Pantera/Down frontman Phil Anselmo. [9] [10]
As of 2024, Child Bite has toured the U.S. with such acts as Pantera, [11] Lamb of God, [12] Down, [13] Voivod, [14] Negative Approach, [15] Superjoint, [16] Poison Idea, [17] Unsane [18] and more.
