Criminal Mind formed in 2008, are from Bristol and first appeared on here 3 years ago (so check out that update for more info on them : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2015/04/criminal-mind-frustrated-teenage.html)
They've released a couple of albums, 2012's Self Titled and 2015's Life To Defend (check them out here : https://criminalmindpunk.bandcamp.com/) and now they've released a 6 track ep titled Pleading Guilty. According to their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/CRIMINALMINDPUNK/) the ep was due out last month and is supposed to be available for streaming or download online but I can't find it anywhere so it could be delayed? (Maybe the band could add a comment). Also newly released is the remastered version of the Life To Defend album which is on limited edition blue vinyl and comes with a free download of the new ep (message them if you want to buy a copy : criminalmindpunk@hotmail.com).
There is a video that they've put out for one of the new songs. This could have come from the golden era southern Californian hardcore scene, slip it on a mixtape with Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Middle Class etc and it wouldn't stand out too much like a sore thumb. It certainly wouldn't scream Bristol 2018. It's authentic sounding hardcore punk that manages to sound fresh and exciting, it's called Two Faced....
What's with the fucked up look in your eye
Always said you ain't got nothing to hide
You helped me out, called me your friend
All this time I sense you pretend
Hid on the wall creeping up like a spy
Think you're the spider, I'm the fly
Never listened to a word I say
You crossed the line, get out of the way
Always said you ain't got nothing to hide
You helped me out, called me your friend
All this time I sense you pretend
Hid on the wall creeping up like a spy
Think you're the spider, I'm the fly
Never listened to a word I say
You crossed the line, get out of the way
Don't talk, Two Faced
Down to me, don't waste, my fucking time
Two faced, it's dishonesty
But, what have you become
Somebody else I hate without the badge or the gun
Down to me, don't waste, my fucking time
Two faced, it's dishonesty
But, what have you become
Somebody else I hate without the badge or the gun
Double visions what you choose to see
There's more to you and that's the enemy
Me and you ain't got communication
And I've reversed your weak submission
Deceiving days yeah they came and went
Found out that your the real Harvey dent
Never listened to a word I say
You've crossed the line get out of the way
There's more to you and that's the enemy
Me and you ain't got communication
And I've reversed your weak submission
Deceiving days yeah they came and went
Found out that your the real Harvey dent
Never listened to a word I say
You've crossed the line get out of the way
Don't talk, Two Faced
Down to me, don't waste, my fucking time
Two faced, it's dishonesty
But, what have you become
Somebody else I hate your like a coin you cunt.
Down to me, don't waste, my fucking time
Two faced, it's dishonesty
But, what have you become
Somebody else I hate your like a coin you cunt.
