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

When referring 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. ” Hitting the road on tours ranging from support slots for Brand New & the Warped Tour, Crime In Stereo made a name with sharply intelligent critiques of the current social and economic landscape set to a backdrop of music that broke out of the standard hardcore mold.

But time was taking its toll. Following almost three consecutive years 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 lost. Dunne went to work as a political consultant, managing successful judicial campaigns on Long Island for the New York State 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.” Further complicating the situation was Dunne’s diabetes reaching a new severity. His situation worsened to the point where he now has to self-administer injections to his stomach every day to keep things in control.

I love "Stateside" and "Explosives" is actually really growing on me now. It'd be really hard for me to rank them all.
