Backstory:
Criminal List was formed in the dreary, rainy city of Seattle, Washington during the year 2008. The band comprises of lead vocalist Alex Stirling, drummer Sam Pope, bassist Connor Brash, and guitarist Rory Summers. All four members met while serving their time in a minimum-security prison for various petty crimes. They realized that their common interest in music could be a form of rehabilitation and a potential way to change their paths. As they began creating music, they found an unexpected camaraderie and an outlet for their frustrations and desires. After serving their respective sentences, they vowed to continue Criminal List outside the prison walls, hoping to share their transformative experience with others.

Genre:
Criminal List specializes in a grunge influenced fusion of Punk Rock and Blues.

Title:
“Cellblock Symphony”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G]In the gray days of isolation [C]found a new form of salvation [D]
[G]Four cellmates with a single vision [C]music as their prison [D]

(Chorus)
[G]We are the Criminal List, [C]turning sorrow into a fist
[D]Punk and blues in a twisted mix, [G]we are the Criminal List [C][D]

(Verse 2)
[G]Behind bars found our liberation [C]songs echoing through the station [D]
[G]Strumming chords of desperation [C]birth of our creation [D]

(Chorus)
[G]We are the Criminal List, [C]out of the shadows, into the mist
[D]We’re the voice you can’t resist, [G]we are the Criminal List [C][D]

[G]From a cellblock symphony, [C]to the sound of liberty [D]
[G]We are the Criminal List [C][D][G]

Testimonial – Jenny:
“Criminal List isn’t just a band to me – they’re a symbol of redemption and resilience. Their music is raw, gutsy, and incredibly real. It’s like they’ve turned their tribulations into a compelling narrative that’s expressed through fierce guitar riffs and gravelly vocals. I’ve followed them since their inception, and it’s been an incredible journey. They’ve shown me that it’s possible to turn even the bleakest situations into something deeply beautiful and meaningful. Their music constantly inspires and empowers me. Criminal List is more than my favorite band – they’re a source of strength and inspiration.”
