    Baltimore Hard Rock act Child’s Play (stylized as Child'ƨ Play), founded in 1984. The band's lineup began to change when Phil Wiser left in 1987, resulting in the addition of Idzi on bass. Larry Hinshaw later left the band with Brian Jack (Brian Giacubeno) stepping up to lead vocals. They recorded demos with Kim Fowley and Paul Lani before signing with Chrysalis Records in 1989, for their major label debut album Rat Race (released in 1990 via Chrysalis Records). The title track got a fair amount of airplay on MTV’s Headbanger’s Ball, back when it was a show that wasn’t on at 2am on a Sunday. Jack started out as a guitarist when the band formed in 1983, but took over vocal duties around 1987. The frontman left the group in 1991 to pursue a solo career, but reunited with Child’s Play for a holiday reunion show in December of 2011 at the Ram’s Head Live in Baltimore. Brian Jack passed away on April 17, 2012.
