From I, Crime's MySpace Page:
I, Crime members Jennie and Anderson came together through a shared propensity for drunken bicycling, and began I, Crime in late 2004.
I, Crime is a rock group consisting of Jennie Knaggs (vocals, guitar, accordion), Anderson Walworth (vocals, guitar, bass) and Charlie McCutcheon (drums, vocals) and newly added Mike Ventimiglia (Bass, Keyboards) and they make their home in Detroit, Michigan. Beyond their stick twirling and alcoholic flair, I, Crime truly is a band of songwriters. Creating songs from influences as estranged and arresting as traditional olde-time, power-pop, psyche-punk, honky-tonk, ’50s crooning and high-strung, straight-up rock ‘n’ roll.
Their new brand of romantic rock will blow your ears with harsh punk urgency and your mind with excruciatingly gorgeous boy-girl harmonies, and then invite you over after the show for spiked tea and impromptu singalongs. They’ll let you crash on their couch, and even pour you a bowl of cereal in the morning.
Their song, “It Ain’t Right,” reached 1 on Brown Student Radio in Providence, RI, which called their sound “Black Sabbath meets the Marvelettes.” I, Crime has shared the stage with talent such as Awesome Color (Ecstatic Peace!), Immaculate Machine (Mint Records), Party Line (x Bratmobile), among others.
I, Crime has been touring the USA in support of their five-song EP, “Get the Knife” released last February, and it’s guaranteed to p~~s you off, turn you on and make you cry – everything that makes music worth listening to. They are currently in the studio recording a full length LP to be released this spring. Stay tuned...
