Hello fellow victims of modern life! We have a very exciting announcement for you -- a new band for a new year.
The current lineup includes drummer Matthew Lauritsen, multi-instrumentalist Ryan Deeter, and bassist Matt Heymann. Along with a slew of shows to reveal this powerful new lineup, 2017 will mark the beginning of a series of EP releases that show Children Having Children in their current restless and raucous state. These will be the first recordings since the band delivered its critically-inflamed debut album Mice in late 2014.

For full details on the Matts and a singular Ryan, check out our new bio at the link below:
"In the beginning, it was like Steven and I were standing in a room, holding tools and looking at a block of raw marble. All I could see was a hunk of stone, but fortunately, he was able to understand the finished product."

"Getting to that point of completion was no easy feat; nearly every note played in every section of every song was deliberate, but only after examining (and exhausting) all possible approaches from a drumming standpoint. "What if we added [this]?" and"what if we combined [these two ideas]?" were all too frequent requests from Steven, but the fact that he could hear the part had to mean I could play it, had to.
Aside from the cerebral genesis of the parts, the physical execution proved to be equally challenging. But ultimately after many rehearsals and many (many) takes in the studio, we ended up with this wonderful music."
Hear an early dose of Terry's thunder on "Duckling" with your pre-order of Mice.
