Independent labels breathe the life and soul into the music industry. As home of the hottest new bands and artists, Criminal Records seeks out new upcoming talent from gigs, showcases and demos to bring you the best new music.

To date we host a massive 19 acts on our label and represent a range of bands playing the best basement rock music.

Formed in 2004, Criminal Records signed a number of bands and artists in a proactive attempt to support the new music scene emerging in the UK.

Our bands represent the grass roots of UK talent. The era of manufactured pop and talentless icons is finally fading in favour of real bands and musicians.

Pop is dead - long live music.
