Decent Criminal's last album, Bloom, was released in 2017. They also made the news last year when sites like Vice, Kerrang!, Alternative Press and others picked up on the story that a vinyl pressing error had seen their music mistakenly pressed onto copies of Kendrick Lamar's second album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City - which gave Lamar's fans quite a shock.

Speaking about the upcoming Bliss, a spokesperson said: "With a sound reminiscent of 90s alternative, punk, surf, and power-pop, Northern CA’s Decent Criminal offer catchy, upbeat songs that mercilessly collide with an abrasive and often melancholy undertones to bring forth a style that is both playfully compatible and inadvertently raw."

They formed when in 2014, brothers Hunter and Tristan Martinez took what was already an active touring band and rebuilt it from the ground up. This gave the band a new sound and set of players.

The show in support of Murderburgers is at Stafford's Redrum, on Crabbery Street, on May 24 from 7.30pm. Tickets, costing £6.60, can be bought here.
