Whoever said punk is dead clearly never heard these guys from Chicago.
Criminal Kids say they play punk rock “With nasty riffs and an attitude problem”, and I found out that they ain’t lyin’. Last year they released their first E.P. on Spaghetty Town Records (USA) & God's Candy Records (Canada).
The self-titled release is a blast. Imagine Bryan Johnson era AC/DC on speed with a bit of Circle Jerks added for extra flavor, these tracks are tight, fast and need to be played at outrageously high volumes.
They went for quality over quantity on this disc, as it’s just over a quarter of an hour long. It’s fine though because for 16 minutes Criminal Kids take you out of your own boring little life and lets you free-fall through a wall of guitar violence, screaming vocals, pounding drums and a rumble of high speed bass lines. If you think it’s too short you can easily leave it on repeat for a while because I’ve been doing it for the past 2 hours or so and I haven’t got bored of it yet.
I love the L.A.M.F. inspired spray-paint letters on the cover, I love the high energy rock n’ roll inside, I love the Criminal Kids.
Criminal Kids are: Ryan - Guitar/Vocals, Mike Van Kley - Guitar, Chris - Bass/Vocals, Anthony - Drums
