Back in 2004 Rocky Goode and Kirlian Blue decided
to form an act called The Thought Criminals. With the help of a Dance Producer
Tony Messenger and mixer Rob Henry they pulled of their first album. The
duo built up quite a cult following over the following years. Headlining
very well known and famous London (UK) live venues such as The Mass, The
Underworld, The Dublin Castle, Goldsmiths College, and The 333 Club!
The Thought Criminals from day one have blended the styles of Dark Early
80's Electronic music with modern Alternative Dance music. The Thought Criminals
are influenced by acts such as The Prodigy, Gary Numan, John Foxx, and The
Sex Pistols, Tik and Tok and last but not least Soft Cell. The Vocals are
a unique style of tongue and cheek from the streets of South London.
The Thought Criminals are proudly a self manufactured act. Created by Kirlian
Blue and given its balls by its front man Rocky Goode. They had no style
guru's or Malcolm McClaren’s to help them. They don’t claim to be Talented
Musicians, but they do claim to be Performers with very strong Musical Ideas,
Lyrics, Originality and Direction.
Over the years The Thought Criminals have featured on several CD Compilations
and several digital ones. The band have released several Digital Singles
"Suicide Bomber" (2006) and "I Wanna Be A Celebrity" (2007). And the Album"Die
Young : Stay Pretty" (2008) WTII Records.
