Crim3s, formerly known as Story of Isaac, is an English electronic duo from London.[1] The group consists of Rou Rot and Sadie Pinn, who met while living in a warehouse in North London.[2]

They debuted with a self-titled EP on Black Bus Records in December 2011.[3] In 2013, they self-released their second EP, Stay Ugly.[2][4][5] They were part of the 2017's Sound of Stockholm lineup.[6]

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.[7] After being evicted on short notice, they were left homeless for a period of a year:[2] "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."[7] They made a name for themselves as organisers and DJs of illegal squat raves in London [2] 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."[4] 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."[2]
