(THIS IS A FAN PAGE THIS IS NOT THE BAND I AM JUST A FAN BRINGING BACK THE MUSIC )
Child's Play is a hard rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. The group was formed in 1982 in with Larry Hinshaw (lead vocals), Brian Jack (guitar), Phil Wiser (bass), Jimmy Shafer (guitar) and Jon Albinak (drums). The group quickly evolved with the addition of John Allen to drums and Nicky K to lead guitar. This lineup solidified and formed the basis of a surge in popularity through the mid-atlantic region during the mid eighties with constant touring and the release of their first EP, Ruff House, in 1985. The band was particularly popular in Baltimore rock venues such as Seagull Inn, Hammerjacks and the Capricorn.
The band's lineup began to change when Phil Wiser left in 1987 resulting in the addition of Idzi on bass. Larry Hinshaw then later left the band with Brian Jack stepping up to lead vocals. [1] They recorded demos with Kim Fowley and Paul Lani before signing with Chrysalis Records in 1989. Their major label debut album, Rat Race—produced by Howard Benson—was released the following year. Also in 1990, they toured the United States, opening for Cold Sweat.[2]
John Allen went on to join the band SR-71. Nicky Kay bought a bar in the Canton/Fells point area of baltimore. Brian Jack performs as a solo act and with a band sometimes in the Baltimore area. Phil Wiser went on to become a become a successful digital media entrepreneur in Silicon Valley.
In 1991, Jack left the band for a solo career and was replaced by Tommy McRae. A second album, Long Way was released in 1993. Because Jack had been a fan favorite, there was much speculation as to how well the band would be received with McRae as the new singer. All concerns were quelled when the title track from Long Way was released to radio and quickly became the number one requested song in the Baltimore area. In addition to Long Way, three other singles from the album also received significant radio airplay; Foolish Pride, I Can't Believe, and a live version of Wind - a single from the band's first album. Each of these became a number one requested song as well. The band toured extensively but despite enormous regional success, national success proved elusive. Tommy McRae left the band in 1995 and moved to Nashville. He resumed a solo career as well as a career as a songwriter and producer.
