Gregory Childs & Heart Lung
Reviews
Records & Rockstars with Jeff Woods
"Gregory Childs and his wife bring along crack guitarist Jonathan Billings and band, to Wild Woods Blue to play a couple new songs, and one long ago made famous by Waylon and Willie."
“There’s some unplugged Nirvana in here…maybe a little dark Fleetwood Mac.”
"Another band has a shot at some exposure with this program. This is The Undiscovered Gem. Many people submit songs. Few are chosen. This week it's a new Toronto group called Gregory Childs & Heart Lung."
“A train-chugging emotional wallop and carries the band’s stylistic and songwriting evolution several steps further along the track…” | Canadian Beats
"Traditional-leaning country and folk music often dance along the sharp and rough edges of life – loss, heartbreak, yearning, and the desire for salvation. It connects the heart first, goes deep, and then gets into your bones."
“Subject matter is heavy and it’s ultimately a love song…” | The Amp
"'From the Chest' is what you likely think it is: an introspective look inside one’s self. Childs’ bright storytelling finds a man grappling with his faith after the loss of his wife."
“They take you back to the good old days of the grunge/alt rock movements though they have a distinct identify.” | Lazie Indie Magazine
"We have a bunch of new singles coming out over the coming months, including From the Chest, Used to It and Motel Song. We recorded these songs in a small studio called Pineship Sound which is run by the Canadian band Zeus."
“Country outlaw with an alternative tinge.” | Drop Out Entertainment
"If you like your country outlaw with an alternative tinge, you’ll definitely want to give it a listen, it’s one hell of a first release!"
“May need to take a shower after listening to…” | If It’s Too Loud
"Baby Blue sounds like it might have some positivity behind it, but Blood Ties is almost impossibly dark. It's the kind of song you may need to take a shower after listening to."
