Hot for Crime plays the kind of rock 'n' roll music you’ve been looking for. Think big—guitar, bass, and drums—in the classic tradition, with meaningful lyrics and melodic choruses. Their debut album is packed with hit songs and has over 25 million streams. The self-titled album was produced by Drew Fulk, who has more than 10 #1 Billboard rock tracks to his name.
The band formed in 2022 on Venice Beach, where Mick reconnected with his childhood friend Paul O'Malley to launch what would become Hot for Crime. With the addition of lead guitarist Miles Schon, the band soon had nearly 50 songs written.
In their first year, Hot for Crime kicked things off at The Viper Room and The Whisky, eventually hitting the road as openers for the Sevendust/Alter Bridge tour. Most recently, they returned from touring the Southwest, opening for the sold-out The Struts tour.
Now, with momentum at an all-time high, Hot for Crime is gearing up to release their highly anticipated sophomore album. Set to drop soon, the new record promises to build on the raw energy of their debut, with bigger hooks, bolder riffs, and lyrics that cut deep. Fans can expect the same no-frills rock 'n' roll spirit, but with a refined edge that showcases the band’s growth. This album is set to cement their place as one of the most exciting acts in modern rock.
