In the fall of 2008, an unfamiliar sound was hitting the streets of San Gabriel Valley, Ca. Long time friends, Slime Simmons and Chris Del Rio decided to put their ideas together, and form a band (something they have wanted to do for years). Instantly they started meshing ideas and influences. Chris supplies the music and direction, Slime supplies the lyrics and attitude. With this intense combination, Crime Wave was born. Soon after, they recruited their close friends to complete the band's lineup.  If aggressive, chanty, melodic music from the street (Oi!) is your thing, then check out Crime Wave.
