Hailing from Griffithstown , a small town in

South Wales UK , arrives a female fronted , firecracker of a band . With two amazing EPs to their credit , Digital Criminals are poised to be the next hot act from across the pond and TO has them !

In his debut interview for Total Order Magazine , The Highlander snags one of the hottest up and coming bands in the underground UK circuit . Digital Criminals .
Let me start by asking how did the idea of Digital Criminals all start ?
DC : DC ’ s started out as a studio project between Emily and Dan in 2015 . As the demos started collating , the conversation became about how the tracks could be brought to life live . One night Jimi came over for a house party and asked what music we were writing , and after a listen , asked if a bassist was needed . With the addition of Jade , who Dan and Em met through an arts project , Digital Criminals took on the form of the band .
How do you go about writing new material ?
DC : We write demos in our home studio , which we take into the rehearsal room where the music gets brought to life . From there , we gig it live , shape the performance of the songs and commit them to record .
How do you maintain a home life and work life with the demands the band must have on all of you ? DC : Work hard , socialize when gigging and ask other people what sleep is ?
