MVLL CRIMES formed in 2019 when guitarist Patrick Briggs teamed up with vocalist Jillian Clair to create something heavy and thought-provoking. Their first EP was written and recorded in a day, with vocals added after Jill completed her master’s degree. Joined by bassist Laurie McColeman, the band self-released their debut ROVDSIDE VTTRVCTIONS in 2020, just as the pandemic hit.

Undeterred, they wrote and recorded their follow-up EP BOOTLICKER’S DELIGHT in 2021 and began touring across Canada as restrictions eased. In 2022, they signed with Toronto label Cursed Blessings Records to release YOU EMBVRRVSS ME on vinyl and digital platforms.

Now repped by Matt Breese of Atomic Music Group for Canadian touring, MVLL CRIMES have shared stages with Propagandhi, Comeback Kid, The Dirty Nil, Chastity, and Single Mothers. They've also been featured on CBC's The Intro and Exclaim's 8 Emerging Canadian Artists You Need to Hear.

After a year-long hiatus, MVLL CRIMES are back with a new single, GWEN STVCEY, a full-length album on the way, and more shows to come.
