Profile: Hailing from all different points of Central Jersey, Perfect Crime is the new sherriff in town when it comes to rocking your socks to the back of the wall! Not only are these guys willing and able, they have a sense of moral ineptitude that prohibits them from ever being less metal than they already are! Actually, this group is rather humbled by any interest in their music and is very grateful towards anyone who ever stood around to listen to them jam or passed by as they were playing a gig and liked what they heard. They do not claim to be the best at anything in particular. They aren't the greatest musicans ever. They're not the most talented of all who've ever played. But one thing is for certain; the guys can rock! If you come to a Perfect Crime show at some point, they want to guarentee you will have a good time. They will try their damnedest to provide everyone with a top quality performance, good tunes that will make you tap your feet, and a few quality laughs. All they ask is that you give them a chance to shine, and if you do, they will not disappoint. From the roots of punk rock and heavy metal, an idea was thrust upon 4 men, like so many youths in this day and age. A deep passion arose between the men and the music, and a voice cried upon the earth. It said, "Let there be Perfect Crime!" That voice, was Frank Stallone's. And the men, well... they're just guys who like to play good music. The band started in the early spring of 2003. Whilst coming up for an easy way out of English classes, a guy with a knack for shouting out lyrics (Mike Tucker) and a tall bass player (Joe Pitonak) decided they needed a way to channel their musical talent. They decided to go after what eventually became what we all know (and love) today. The guitarist was found in a side project during the winter (Ed Cicchi), and the drummer was stumbled upon somewhere or another (Ed "Cigar" Siregar). These four men began Perfect Crime. Actually, the group's first mark was different than the one that had been around for a majority of it's existance. It was under much duress that the Cheech, as he is affectionately known, left the band before the summer of '03. Not much could be done about this, but it was then that a mutual friend, Tom Montiero, to fill in the void. This worked rather well for quite some time. Only two shows, 30 covers, and legions of fans later, the band took a slight hiatus for the winter. Tucker was still singing. Tom and Joe would eventually practice with each other. Cigar would continue to write. Practices were damn near impossible during the winter as the practice area was unheated, and could cause possible damage to the instruments and equipment. By the time spring rolled around, the group was at an impasse. Due to problems within the group, lack of practices, and general disagreement about the future of the band, Tom decided to leave. However, business is business, and Tom is still a great friend of the band to this day. But this left the remaining members of Perfect Crime with some huge shoes to fill. With not much left in them, there was a choice to be made. Either they would give up on the band, pick up the pieces and start over, or get a new guitarist. They chose "Option B". Since Cheech was coming home from Albright U in May of '04, he would be asked to re-join the group he originally formed. The original line-up has returned to the "garage" and has finished writing & recording material for their 5-Track Demo disc. Currently, the band is regrouping from the cold Jersey weather and back in the studio remastering tracks and recording some more original material for the full-length album in the not-too-distant future. Until then, keep your fingers crossed and help keep the scene alive by supporting the future of rock. Coming to a Jersey club near you, Perfect Crime is.. Welcome to the Crime Wave of Punk Rock and Roll
 Perfect Crime practice exclusively @ AARIUS Studios.
Sounds Like: "Straight from the punk roots of the Misfits and the Ramones, pop-metal influences from Bon Jovi to Poison, and the hard rock attitude of Guns n' Roses, Perfect Crime is the greatest mix of styles to clash on one stage at a time." The rock infused punk guitar mixed with 70's punk drumming and bass with an updated vocal feel that is the DK's meets Warrant. Or something like that. Or maybe not. Hmm, strange mix, until you hear it
