After hearing CHILD ABUSE, the trio's moniker seems more like a reference to violence inflicted by a toddler rather than upon one. The group's growled vocals, manic riffs and copious double-kick drumming nod to death metal. These loopy tones align with Tim Dahl's fuzzed-out bass and Oran Canfield's dense, swinging beats to create a highly technical sound that's also weirdly playful.
- Time Out New York
In their ten years of existence, CHILD ABUSE have become much more than a jarring name. The NY trio has fused elements of Noise, Death Metal, Free Jazz, and Grind (among other things) into something entirely their own, all the while becoming one of the most innovative, and polarizing bands in New York. "Trouble in Paradise", the band's third full-length release, expands on their forays into uncharted musical territory.

CLIFF NOTES:
--------------------------------------
o Though Child Abuse does their best not to sound like anyone else, or fit into any genre's, open minded listeners of other genre defying bands such as Doomsday Student, Ruins, Flying Luttenbachers, Gorguts, Stockhausen, Univers Zero, Man is the Bastard, Meshuggah, Eric Dolphy, Butthole Surfers, Ocrilim, Gay Beast, Cecil Taylor, Captain Beefheart, etc...may or may not hear some similarities in Child Abuse's music.
o Includes an additional bonus track found only on the CD release
o Recorded by Andrew Barker and Eli Crews
o Tim Dahl is also currently performing in Retrovirus alongside Lydia Lunch, Bob Bert and Weasel Walter.
o Child Abuse tours worldwide: European tour begins September 2014, West Coast USA tour Spring 2015

PRESS QUOTES:
--------------------------------------
o "New York's Child Abuse is a gloriously confrontational band, mixing the incoherent glugs of death metal, the dissonant meander of 12-tone composition, the atonal squonk of free-jazz, blasts of ucky noise, and a wet gob of old- fashioned punk rock. " - The Village Voice
o "This is some gloopy, mutant shit right here: a kaleidoscopic rush of snot greens, crackling electric blues and putrid mustard yellows mainlined straight through a jagged hole in the skull to force terrifying visions of something that’s all blurting, blunt-force horror, oogly-boogly keyboard shriek and pant-pissing threats and obscenities into your brain. Mere words can’t much do it justice..." - Rock Sound Magazine
o "Somewhere in between noise, metal, and avant-jazz lies Child Abuse, the wildman trio from NYC." - Brooklyn Vegan
o "Child Abuse revels in the craft that underlies its work. Despite the band’s harsh approach, the presence of thought and structure quickly emerge out of the maelstrom. And the fact that the band is drawing from many different stylistic wells at once should entice listeners across a wide range of tastes—as long as those listeners aren't bound by the tribal provincialism that plagues so many scenes." - New York Press
