Quiet Child

About Me


Quiet Child are a four piece alternative rock band from Adelaide who are steadily cementing their place in the local scene and pushing the boundaries of the 'musician's band' notion that has catagorized so much of the up and coming progressive rock sounds.
Their music ranges from two minute blasts of furious riff filled rock, to long, grandiose epics propelled by major dynamic shifts and melodic and rhythmic complexities.
In October 2007 their first single Was Immer was featured in Australia's BLUNT Magazine as part of the Loud Noises Compilation along with such names as Cog and Atreyu. 'Was Immer' has also received airplay on Triple J's Home and Hosed.
In late 2007 and early 2008 their second track Underage and Well Behaved was featured on Triple J Unearthed and JTV Unearthed before earning the band a place on the 2008 Big Day Out by winning Triple J Unearthed. Quiet Child also appeared as a Featured Artist on Unearthed in January 2008 with an exclusive interview from Pete.
In 2008 alone, Quiet Child have shared the stage with some great Aussie heavyweights including The Butterfly Effect, Cog, Dead Letter Circus, Mammal, Bushido, Sleep Parade and Laura.
"Quiet Child is a force to be reckoned with and if there’s a local band worthy of your support, this is the one."
Rob Lyon - Journalist for 'Rip It Up Magazine' - February 2007
"The atmosphere created by the intricate sounds of Quiet Child made me never want to leave the wonderful place in my head they led me to."
Talia Lomman - Journalist for 'dB Magazine' - March 2007
"Busy Streets is awesome, exhilarating and an epic beyond all proportions..."
Bobby Tyger - 'Faster louder' - May 2007
"A lot of heavy music doesn’t have much else going for it. It’s loud, it’s brutal, but that’s about it. Quiet Child bring something more to the table: killer vocal melodies and catchy guitar parts. There’s a great energy to this track; I’m sure it’ll sound hot when they play it live at the Adelaide Big Day Out."
Vijay Khurana - presenter for Triple J Radio- Review of, 'Underage and Well Behaved.' - 10 January 2008
"This is a wild trip. It's got a bit of freaky QOTSA riffing going on in the breakdown, some beefy Soundgarden vocals in the chorus, and a little dose of Maiden metal in the guitar licks."
Richard Kingsmill - Music Director for Triple J Radio - Review of, 'Underage and Well Behaved.' - 30 January 2008
