Crime In Stereo Is Dead (2002-2010)

“It was a strange year,” says Alex Dunne, Crime in Stereo’s songwriter and guitarist.

This is in reference to the twelve months between the 2006 release of their critically acclaimed The Troubled Stateside and the beginning of recording “Crime in Stereo Is Dead.” “Strange” might be an understatement. Crime in Stereo (Dunne, singer Kristian Hallbert, bassist Mike Musilli, drummer Scotty Giffin and guitarist Gary Cioni) thought they had seen the end of the road. After coming home from six straight months of touring promoting Stateside, a release that All Music Guide praised as “As ambitious as modern hardcore is likely to get,” and hitting the road on tours ranging from support slots for Brand New and the Warped Tour, Crime in Stereo had made a name for themselves. With sharply intelligent critiques of the current social and economic landscape set to a backdrop of music that breaks out of the standard hardcore mold, Crime in Stereo was moving into the forefront of the underground.

But time was taking its toll. Following almost three consecutive years of touring non-stop in support of Troubled Stateside and their debut full-length Explosives And The Will To Use Them, in 2004 the band felt disconnected from their label and, put simply, lost. Dunne went to work as a political consultant, managing successful judicial campaigns on Long Island, New York for the state’s Democratic Party. “It was a bizarre thing to have happen; driving around the country playing shows all summer with your hardcore band, and then within a week of coming home from tour, working as a paid consultant.

    As far as I am aware the latest update is this "I have a block of editing in march/april for mastodon/sharks/defeater. If I can nail those projects (which is ENTIRELY doable) I will start by eliminating this CIS project and bringing at least the free copy to you"
