Crime in Choir

San Francisco-based instrumental progressive rock quintet Crime In Choir crafts expansive, layered soundscapes that blend intricate guitar work with dynamic rhythmic foundations. Formed in 2000, the group has built a reputation for ambitious compositional arrangements and meticulous studio production across releases on respected independent labels including Frenetic Records, Omnibus, and Gold Standard Labs.

The band’s sonic palette draws strength from the musical pedigree of guitarist Jarrett Wrenn and bassist Kenny Hopper, both formerly of influential post-hardcore outfit At the Drive-In. Their third full-length, *Trumpery Metier*, engineered by acclaimed producer Tim Green, showcases the group’s evolution toward increasingly complex instrumental arrangements and demonstrates their commitment to pushing progressive rock boundaries.
