Returning to the West Coast after opening for Clutch & Orange Goblin this past spring, Austin’s deputized resident rockers Scorpion Child ~ Aryn Jonathan Black – Vocals, Chris Cowart – Lead Guitar, Tom Frank – Rhythm Guitar, Shaun Avants – Bass, Shawn Alvear – Drums ~ will add extra warmth to the long days of summer with a one-hour headlining set featuring music from their upcoming self-titled debut album – due out in North America on June 25th. Local bands will open in every city.
Checking in from the East Coast and eagerly awaiting their performance at the Rocklahoma festival this Sunday, the band shares, “We’re looking forward to giving rock fans and new converts the full Scorpion Child experience… and we’ll probably throw in some new material, too!”

Check out the lyric video for “Polygon Of Eyes” on YouTube and see why Orange Goblin vocalist Ben Ward is raving, “We live in an age where bands trying to emulate the Rock Gods of the ‘70s and ‘80s are two-a-penny, and almost all of them fail. Scorpion Child are different: they are the real deal. Thunderous drums, huge riffs, quality songs and in Aryn Jonathan Black ~ a singer and frontman that brings to mind [Led Zeppelin’s] Robert Plant AND [Free/Bad Company/Queen’s] Paul Rodgers ~ Scorpion Child are destined for greatness!”
Primed to join the elite ranks of rock’s present day flag bearers such as Graveyard, The Sword, Wolfmother, and Rival Sons, Scorpion Child‘s debut album ~ produced and arranged by Chris “Frenchie” Smith (The Answer, Jet, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, The Toadies, Dax Riggs) ~ is a shining contribution to the latest annuls in rock’s still-evolving history.
