Great New Track From Criminal Hygiene

Leave a comment

Upload Day SxSW 0314123211Los Angeles based homies Criminal Hygiene are a band that really made a name for themselves in the ATH musical guidebook during SXSW last year with their rowdy and intense live performances.  They also staked a claim in my music notes with their highly underrated 2013 debut release CRMNL HYGNE (fully streamable on bandcamp btw).

My fandom out of the way, the point of this post is to let you know that the band just sent us this new track “Pickman” to share with you guys.  The song is just downright badass from start to finish.  It begins in the typical sludgy rock style I’ve grown accustomed to from the guys, and then ends with some thrashing, intense rock n roll that’s sure to wake up even the casual rock fan.  WAKE UP.

This jam can be found on the soundtrack for the new transmedia novella project The Red Bicycle.  The digital soundtrack features tons of great music from local L.A. bands and is free with purchase of the novella.  You can pick that one up for only $9 over on Big Cartel.

I’ve been really jamming out over the last few weeks to the new album CRMNL HYGNE by L.A. based group Criminal Hygiene.  The album has been in stores for about a month now, but I wanted to share with you a new song called “Alan, I’m in Love” that the band just made available as a free download.  Hopefully it will drum up some excitement for those of you who have yet to get your head on straight and pick up this album.  You cheap skates can even get a digital copy of the massive 17 song album for only $5 over on bandcamp.

New Gutter Punk From Criminal Hygiene

Leave a comment

It’s rare that I get a song in my inbox from a band I’ve never heard and immediately think everyone I know needs to check it out.  Well that’s what came to mind the first time I listening to this track “Rearrange Me” from L.A. based raw punk outfit Criminal Hygiene.   More than just your average punk rock song, I can actually hear the “I don’t give a shit” emotion coming through on the vocals.  This 4 minute beauty is one to spin over and over.

Criminal Hygiene have a new LP entitled CRMNL HYGNE coming out on January 15th via Small Smile Records.
