Exploding with melodic and pummeling industrial-tinged post-punk, Louisville dark punk stalwarts FOTOCRIME erupt in an unexpectedly aggressive tone on their new album, Security. This more guitar-driven direction may seem like a pivot, but to those in the know it’s inherent in Fotocrime leader Ryan Patterson’s musical history and DNA. Patterson is a musician, producer, visual artist, and creative force behind Coliseum, Cat Magic Punks, Black Cross, and Shirt Killer, amongst many other bands and endeavors.
Formed in 2017, Fotocrime have released five EPs and four albums, and on their fifth LP, 2026’s Security, Patterson is joined by new members Benjamin Clark (formerly of Elliott) on guitar and David Cundiff on bass. Filled with tales of overblown machismo at the nuclear chess board and honest living in a corrupt world, Security is rife with sentiments of paranoia and impending doom. Despite the darkness, Fotocrime always strikes a chord of elation with their man-vs-machine electronic-meets-organic industrial punk.
