Stormchild

Hi This is punk stormchild, If u go on google and look for Asylum chelmsford you will access the website for our venue' We opened the venue in april last year and iut has rapidly become the place to gig .We have bands from all opver the world play for us. What i was thinking was why not set up a gig with both stormchilds on the bill we could promote it as a meeting of genres and ideals still musically active after all these years, we use the slogan It's not an age its an attitude.Wot do u thiuk . My email is alienhand@gmail.com

The Maiden Voyage album is now out on CD!!!

Hi guys, yes we were shocked to see how many there are! Since we formed in 1979, I would like to think that we were the first, but who knows? It does get a bit confusing, especially with the Idiot canadian DJ who also calls himself Stormchild. The problem is we also wont change our name due to the worldwide fanbase we have, and the fact that our single is the highest valued of the genre. Good luck with your career, at least you play a different style to us and are a proper band, unlike some of the other Stormpeople!! :-)

Soon there'll be so many Stormchilds it'll be like playing Where's Wally!

p.p.s. Ha ha we did consider a name change but our guitarist has the Stormchild name tattooed in large letters the full length of his forearm and he may get a bit upset if we change names!

p.s. I happen to think the metal band Stormchild's music sounds great!

Hi - there seems to be a growing number of Stormchildren in the world - are we breeding! We as a band have never tried to ride on the name of any other bands. It's just unfortunate that we happen to have chosen the same name when we formed in the early 1980's as this was before the days before we all had access to the internet. We had no knowledge of any other band of the same name, otherwise we would have not have used it. However we have been reformed since 2008 and have been gigging heavily around London and the Southern counties and we are finding our collective name is more frequently being confused with eachother. This is not a major problem as we are obviously totally different genres, but could I suggest that in any future publicity to try and indicate where you originate from, as I noticed that a gig we played at New Cross In in London was advertised using the metal band Stormchild's photo. Rock on, keep on making live music and let's not take it personally!

Legendary heavy metal band Stormchild are in talks with a U.S. film company about a documentary and sponsorship for a new album! Watch this space!!!!! :-)

Just under two weeks until STORMCHILD (punk band) play CROSS FEST in London, 12th August. 3 DAYS...MULTIPLE GENRES...OVER 40 ARTISTS...Tickets are £5 for the weekend or £4 on the door per day. All proceeds go to local charities. Facebook event: www.facebook.com/events/205923459533781/ Tickets: http://newcrossinn.com/?p=2&id=627

Just to be clear, Stormchild is NOT on tour before our fans get too excited! We are in talks to reform and do a new album and documentary, but it is the punk band who is touring NOT Stormchild!

I think the Canadian Stormchild is a bit of an idiot. XD

"It's your own fault for assuming you have the rights to the name Stormchild. Instead of deleting the information for the other bands. this isn't your page, it is information for artists who happen to have the same name. Get over it and grow up! You aren't Stormchild and never will be dude!" LOL

Just a reminder, artist disambiguation is in progress, and should be deployed later this year. When that happens, this page will be split into the respective artist pages. In the meantime, thanks for your patience - I know the current situation isn't ideal and it can be frustrating at times. Nevertheless, we'd ask you to continue to show consideration for the other artists here, and co-operate with each other on this. Thanks.

I'm done with Last.fm. I'm tired of my artist page (stormchild) getting hijacked, and obviously nothing is ever going to be done to remedy this unacceptable situation. The final straw: the page's wiki has now been locked with the wrong info in place. I'm fed up with this situation, and no longer see the point of being involved in any way with this site or service. Fans of my music should look elsewhere for info, as I will no longer attempt to maintain my (now ruined) artist page here. Official site: http://stormchild.net Discogs: http://discogs.com/artist/stormchild It's been fun, but I no longer have the patience to deal with this broken site.

Hi Arashki2K6 thanks for cleaning up the profile page. We also wish that Lastfm provided a way to differentiate between artists of the same name. We originally formed in the early 1980 s and have always been involved in music, though not always as a band. Had a listen to some of your tracks and really enjoyed them. Hope that your music developments go well and good luck for the future.

Eyes in the night

I don't take any offence at all. There is actually a metal band from the UK who brought out a demo in 1985 also, but there is nothing I can do about that either. I appreciate that you researched the name before you settled on it, and we are a little more obscure purely from the age of the band etc. I don't expect the name to be reserved, but as you can appreciate I will be keeping it due to the interest in the band and the fact that we used it first and have a sizeable following among NWOBHM fans. However, I wish you all the success in the world with your musical undertakings. As long as there are people making quality music, whether they have the same name or not does not really bother me too much. We are both from different musical genres and it wont matter to most people. Many thanks for the exchange of shouts. All the best!

Absolutely no disrespect intended towards you, your band, or your music. I just don't want my stuff tagged with 'heavy metal' (nothing wrong with metal; I like lots of it, it's just not what I make), or have people come looking here for info about me, only to find photos of an old metal band, and so on. It's unfortunate for both of us that Last.fm provides no means for resolving this type of problem, as there are plenty of other artists who ended up having the same name, but this is one of many reasons why it's better to have your own unique name. I made every effort to find out if anyone else had ever used the name before I released anything as Stormchild, and all I ever found was info related to Bernard Cornwell's book.

A search for Stormchild "Rockin Steady" reveals 50 white label copies were pressed (with the intent of sending them ass demos to record labels) -- i.e. the song was never released commerically. That's probably why it's not on Discogs. The band also apparently split up over 20 years ago. I don't know why you'd expect the name to be reserved for a band that ceased to exist a long time ago, and never actually released anything. If the band is back together and recording a new album, great, but since there is already someone else using the name Stormchild (with actual releases under that name), don't you think it makes more sense to choose a different name, so we don't have to have this problem?

You must be using a really poor search engine. Try Stormchild Rockin steady and you will see dozens of pages of NWOBHM info' on us. Kilo records went into liquidation in 1985. Unfortunately Discogs is not at the centre of the musical universe, so just because we are not on there means nothing! I don't have to prove anything regarding the band or its releases as we are all over the web. Two of our tracks are also featured on this web site in Top Tracks Please accept that you are incorrect in your assumptions and move along yourself. Many thanks

Interesting story, but it doesn't line up with reality. The name "Stormchild" was the title of a Bernard Cornwell book first published in 1991. I've never seen any evidence of anyone using that name for anything before then. No other artist named Stormchild exists on Discogs -- the world's largest database of music recordings. If you've actually released anything, prove it. Take a photo or scan of the record, and consider adding it to Discogs so anyone in the world will actually know it exists. Going through dozens of pages of search results, I don't see a single page that mentions any of your recordings. This is the only Kilo Records I can find. http://www.discogs.com/label/Kilo+Records I have two tracks out on actual CDs. From the looks of it, your band has never officially released anything. Please choose your own unique name and move along.

Dear Arashi2K6 the original Stormchild formed in 1979 and was signed to Kilo records. Their single Rockin steady from 1982 is the most expensive single of the New wave of British heavy metal genre. They are due to release an album on High Roller records. I know there are a few acts with the same name, but if we are talking originals, then it's us! Sorry.

How can it onl be one real band? there is a lot of bands with this name? why aren't they real?

There's only one real Stormchild — the electronic producer and DJ based in Vancouver, Canada, who has been using the name since 1994. First official release under this name was in 2002 on the compilation "New Sound Theory". There was no other Stormchild at that time. The metal band (which has apparently never properly released anything on an actual label) needs to get a new name.

THE KING HAS FALLEN!! FUCKING AWESOME NWOBHM
