EP Tomorrow’s Too Late

In April 1998 The Criminals recorded the EP Tomorrow’s Too Late , released on New Disorder Records later that year. The band had yet another drummer change when they recruited Julie Thorn, formerly of The Hi-Fives . The Criminals returned to Catbox Studios in the spring of 1999 to record their second album, Burning Flesh and Broken Fingers . The band again worked with Armstrong, who recorded the session and released it on his recently launched Adeline Records . The song “Whiskey Business” was co-written with Matt Freeman . Following the album’s release, Caesar left the band to focus on Black Cat Music and was replaced with guitarist Zach Attack. The band backed the release with a US tour featuring Blanks 77 and L.E.S. Stitches. Several unreleased songs from the Burning Flesh sessions would see later release on Exchange , a split release with Against All Authority .
