Heinous Crimes

South Australian-based four-piece Heinous Crimes belt out a hyponticbrand of psych-rock that feels simultaneously unnerving and euphoric. With soaring vocal melodies and crunching instrumentation, the band have carved out a sound that is uniquely their own, blending psychedelic shoegaze and alternative rock elements that smack you right across the head.
Their live shows are brooding, smoke-filled experiences that cloud your mind and send shivers down your spine for the entire duration. The music meanders from states of dreaminess into massive riffs which are as arid and foreboding as the dark imagery found on some of the band’s artwork. There is an intense heat that permeates from the songs and you can feel yourself begin to perspire a few minutes in.
