About a decade ago, Californian Mario Hernandez (of Ciao Bella and From Bubblegum to Sky) was sitting on a Stockholm couch, casually drinking a really good cup of coffee when a friend put on the Back to Mono box set and Hernandez's life was forever changed. He was instantly drawn in by the excellent songwriting and lush instrumental arrangements; and what started out as an innocent side trip into the Phil Spector back catalog soon became a longtime fascination with the Brill Building and Spector's fabled wall of sound. As time passed, he kept coming back to the idea of a simple pop song that wasn't really that simple-a happy melody with a dark underpinning in the lyrics-and he knew that it wasn't enough to just listen. He had to make his own version of this great stuff. Kids on a Crime Spree is the result of this obsession.
