STREET CRIME

Street Crime is in-your-face punk rock, spawned from the automotive wastelands that surround Detroit, Michigan. Taking the idea that certain forms of survival are born of necessity, Street Crime formed out of a need to bring fury back to rock and roll. Exploding like a Molotov cocktail onto the motor city’s underground scene- this band has burned hot and fast from the word go. With song and lyrical content dealing with a barrage of death, violence and broken homes- Street Crime take what they do very seriously-and VERY personally. With big rock intros and blistering, percussive assaults, this band takes each song like a rollercoaster ride- more comparable to a drive-by shooting, than an amusement park. Street Crime reaches down and lashes out with a voice that is fiercely relevant. Having recently relocated to New Jersey, they're fighting hard to help punk rock put honesty back into the anger and sincerity back into the sweat. Using the landscape of their songs to tell stories and inject personal experiences of war, love, loss- anger, violence and grief- Street Crime is a band that holds onto dreams with teeth bared, fists clenched and bloody knuckles. ”Our songs tell stories- we don’t preach, we don’t push our views or opinions- we simply tell true tales of our lives. We hope people identify with the messages, and, through them find some sense of release. We are a working class band and we struggle like everyone else- we all work and pay bills- but we focus on our music and push that to the forefront of our lives. We’re waiters, warehouse workers-writers, rockers and dreamers."Chasing dreams and persevering are ideals and themes traced throughout Street Crime's music. Mix hope in with a fair amount of hardship and you begin to hear the story-telling in a brand new way.---"Your dreams are worth fighting ... sometimes worth dying for. It is more important than ever to have dreams in this day and age, we live in a world that will try to destroy you at each and every turn. As a band we stand by each other and by our music. ---While recording a new record and auditioning members for a fall tour, Street crime will also be launching a new website as-well-as web store. Stay tuned for information on an upcoming song featured on a Rock For Life Compilation this summer to support Cancer research.
