Biography

Rou Rot and Sadie Pinn met in the Monkey Farm, a North London warehouse where they used to live. Rot was seeking a singer for the music he composed, and decided to work with Pinn after their first recording tries.[8] After being evicted on short notice, they were left homeless for a period of a year:[3] "Our first ep [sic] was made when we were homeless, each track in a different environment. We’ve written tracks in garages, railway arches, office blocks, garden sheds and a law students uni room."[8] They made a name for themselves as organizers and DJs of illegal squat raves in London [3] and were described by Electronic Beats as "pure punk in the truest sense, possessed of a strong DIY spirit and a no-fucks-given attitude."[1] Rot has cited their lifestyle as an inspiration for their name: "Being chased by police and opening buildings to squat is a funny way to live. The harsh reality of life – not just for us, but the people we see around us every day – is what our music is about, and the reason why we're called CRIM3S."[3]
