Criminal Hygiene are a Los Angeles-based quartet comprised of founding member Michael Fiore, Michael Hiller, Sean Erickson and Cameron Ward. Fiore handles the lion’s share of the songwriting though Hiller is responsible for several gems too. Over the period of a couple years, they wrote-recorded-practiced and performed their asses off, releasing 5.5 singles, an EP and an album. They’ve played literally hundreds of local shows as well as 60-some national dates with the likes of Twin Peaks, Together Pangea and The Whigs, among others. Their album, Run It Again, is set for release March 1st, 2019 on Dangerbird Records.
Run It Again is 10-song album that shines a fresh light on a raw sort of garage rock, full of melody, smart lyrics and hooks for days. Recorded at Future Shock studio in LA, produced by Alex Newport (Death Cab For Cutie, Frank Turner), there’s an artful flow to the collection of songs.
