Hydrogen Child is a five piece band from Shreveport, Louisiana that was formerly known as Super Water Sympathy. Its members are Clyde Hargrove (guitar), Chris Rimmer (bass), Hali Kha (drums), Jason Mills (keyboards) and Ansley Rimmer (lead vocals). The group released their first album, Vesper Belle, in August 2011 independently and released their second album, Hydrogen Child, in April 2013 through In Music We Trust Records. They have written and produced songs for a variety of groups, including "Chandelier" on B.o.B's album Strange Clouds and "Heartshake" on Morgan James album "Hunter". The band did two national tours in support of their first album, and have also had songs featured on MTV's shows Caged, The Real World: Portland, and The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines. Super Water Sympathy was a featured band on the Vans Warped Tour During the summer of 2012 and 2013. They were also featured at the SXSW festival in 2013,2014, and 2015. In November 2014, they announced that they had changed their name to Hydrogen Child, and later released their debut EP, "Sirens" on June 23, 2015.
Brothers Billy and Clyde decided to form the band after taking a few years off from their joint musical projects while attending college at LSU in Baton Rouge. Billy had played rhythm guitar in several bands during college, while his brother played lead guitar. The duo recruited their family friend Ryan Robinson to serve as the band's drummer. The three men worked with a variety of female vocalists to complete their group, but failed to find one that was a good fit. Eventually, Billy and Clyde's cousin connected them with Ansley Hughes, a girl that he knew from high school; a few weeks later, they watched a couple of videos of Ansley on YouTube playing an acoustic guitar. They then found a picture of Ansley on Facebook with a snake wrapped around her head and knew they had found the right lead singer. Ansley later revealed that sometimes she felt like they were "stalking her". Jason Mills (keyboard) joined the group shortly after Ansley.
