After cutting their teeth in the sweaty basement halls of the Long Island hardcore scene, Crime in Stereo decided to do something bigger. They released Is Dead in 2007, which was a polarizing sonic shift from the blistering hardcore they built a fan base on. On their latest effort, I Was Trying To Describe You To Someone, the band find themselves once again testing the limits of hardcore, ultimately shattering them through 40 minutes of darkly layered, ferociously energetic music.
