Stillchyld

STILLCHYLD is a rock/metal band from Clinton, Iowa fronted by female vocalist, Aleshia Bartels.

Their motto is "Brutal and beautiful" - two words which perfectly describe their music. Fusing elements of Metal, Rock, Pop and Goth, Stillchyld boasts a unique sound, full of melody and power.

Stillchyld is trying to bring a sense of communication and a support system and full of message with fighting against bullying, depression, fears, self-harm, and suicide.  "These are very hard things to deal with no matter what stage in life you are.  My promise to the fans are to help them, and become personal with each and everyone of them, and to let them know that life doesn't have to be so bad, it is what you make of it."

"Stillchyld means a child (or an adult alike) who may be dying inside emotionally," explains Aleshia, "and no child should have to die inside emotionally. We as a band are here to show that life does not have to be so hard. YOU are your biggest influence in the end. Take your emotions and put them into your passion....your dream. Be who you want to be."

Formed in 2007, by Aleshia doing vocals and keys, the Stillchyld line up is completed by Matty Whitacre on Bass, Brandon Whitacre on the guitar, and completed by Edward Bartels on the drums.

The bands debut E.P dropped in late 2010, and they took a 3 year hiatus to work on some personal things.  They are now back in full force and ready to meet more friends and get their message out there!

2013 also sees Stillchyld celebrating their signing with The Inner Light Agency for full development.

Damon Moreno of iLA says "This band is full of heart and are very hard workers. Keep checking the band sites - new music is coming, new merch is coming, new sites are coming ... only good things are ahead for Stillchyld".
