The bands first gig took place at the club The Crypt in Hastings. In the same year of formation, the band also recorded their first demo titled Elegance and also made an appearance in Mick Mercer's second book on the gothic rock genre, this boosted the bands popularity and gained them much publicity. In 1992, Children on Stun supported the popular goth rock band Rosetta Stone on their UK tour. Later on in the year, the band released their second demo, Choices. The band went on to release two more demos in 1993, titled Monochrome I and Monochrome II. Using the profits gained from the release of these demos, the band released their first single, Hollow.
