The Criminals formed in late 1994 with Jesse Luscious (vocals) and Mike Sexxx (bass), as well as vocalist Claudia Bitter, guitarist Freud RIP and drummer Ross the Boss. Initially, The Criminals sound was in a similar vein of Luscious’ previous bands Blatz and The Gr’ups, which were also aggressively fronted, male/female dual-vocal punk rock bands. They issued the 7″ vinyl release Seven Months Drunk and Bitter on Seattle ‘s Hairhurt Records, with cover art by Janelle Hessig, known for producing the Tales of Blarg zine . Bitter left the band to move back to El Paso , Texas prior to seeing a release.
