Kid Dynamite

Philadelphia emo quartet Child Dynamite was formed in 1997 by ex-Lifetime guitarist Dan Yemin, who recruited bassist Steve Ferrel and drummer/fellow Life time co-founder David Wagenschutz for regular practice classes which with time yielded a vocal-free demonstration cassette. With the help of vocalist Jason Shevchuk, the group performed their first live schedules, and upon completing the demonstration agreed upon to Jade Tree to concern their self-titled debut LP in 1998. Ferrel shortly left Child Dynamite, and with brand-new bassist Michael Cotterman the quartet finished its sophomore record Shorter, Louder, Faster. Before the record’s release, nevertheless, Shevchuk give up the music group, and after playing a farewell present on Feb 19, 2000, Child Dynamite dissolved.
