This is House Crimes! They are a melodic punk band from Akron, Ohio for fans of The Fest, Orgcore Punk, and brutal honesty. House Crimes have roots that run deep throughout the scene, as well as with me, personally! The first tee shirt I ever designed, way back in my teenage years, was for guitarist Aaron Novak's early 2000's emo band, "Waiting For Evangeline." I was with singer Josh Taylor when I saw Thursday for the first time and interviewed Geoff Rickly and soaked in every word. Years later I took some of my first band portraits with his band "Friends Back East" as I began my photography journey. I knocked out the layout and design for my first vinyl release, the Friends Back East 7" EP, "Some Songs We Wrote" in 2008. The two songwriters would eventually team up to form Worship This! I found myself lucky to be around to photograph and document the band as they grew. I photographed the cover and handled the layout for their record, "Mint." I hit the road for a weekend tour. Our bond runs deep. These fellas have allowed me to make so many amazing memories while I practiced my crafts over multiple decades and that is why I am so stoked to be working with them again!
