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. After being evicted on short notice, they were left homeless for a period of a year: "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."{{Cite web|last=Indiana|first=Voss|date=2016-03-25|title=After Hour with CRIM3S|url=https://indie-mag.com/2016/03/after-hour-with-crim3s/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160816005710/http://blog.indie-mag.com/blog/2016/03/25/after-hour-with-crim3s/|archive-date=2016-08-16|access-date=2016-08-06|website=Indie Magazine|publisher=Vice Digital}} They made a name for themselves as organizers and DJs of illegal squat raves in London 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." 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."
