Shawn Knight’s guitar & keyboards poke in and out from song to song, along with his signature vocal warble. The music is a combination of punk vigor and avant-garde ideals; the infusing of unconventional sounds with palatable arrangements.

In the midst of recording albums for their other bands, Knight, Norton & Sperry thought it would be a good idea to tackle yet another project. Child Bite was formed in late 2005 with an experimental writing style in mind; to document a handful of improvised sessions and later edit them down to concise arrangements for the band to learn. Recorded in two days at Chicago’s Phantom Manor, the eleven songs featured on “Wild Feast” are the outcome of this process.

Vexed Life
Child Bite Lyrics

Worn down
Smooth to the touch
I stare off, misanthropic
Like a hammer on the nerve

You were right
Wrecked from the start
There's no reason to feel this way
Keep slaving as it rips you apart

Nothing works here
I've been here for years

I stare back clear through the eyes of old
I stare back clear through the eyes of old
I stare back clear through the eyes of old
In this vexed life

I won't hold my breath until the next misstep
Quick to forget that i'm the lucky one

I can't see how to do it right
I can't see how to do it right
I can't see
All I see, I see it wrong
All I see is wrong
Wrong

In this vexed life
