Fun Lovin' Criminals

Over more than 30 years, Fun Lovin’ Criminals have released seven studio albums and two EPs packed with fan‑favourite tracks. Their music is built on a masterful mix of styles: rock and hip‑hop, funk, blues, jazz, and even disco, which has earned them a loyal audience and strong critical acclaim.
This melting‑pot approach has created a magnetic, instantly recognizable universe around the band, often described as gritty, cinematic, and packed with New York attitude.
Live shows and hits
The band’s concerts are widely regarded as unforgettable experiences—high‑energy, groove‑driven, and full of surprises. They commit to playing electrifying shows that showcase new songs, deep cuts from their catalogue, and classic hits like:
• “Scooby Snacks” – a cult hit built on samples and dialogue from Quentin Tarantino films, wrapped in a rap‑rock groove.
• “Love Unlimited” – a soulful tribute to Barry White, channeling smooth R&B and classic New York nocturnes.
Latest album and current lineup
Founding multi‑instrumentalist and producer Brian “Fast” Leiser, drummer and producer Frank Benbini, and guitarist Naim Cortazzi teamed up with multi‑Grammy‑winning engineer Tim Latham to produce the band’s latest album, “A Matter of Time”, released in August 2025.
This project continues Fun Lovin’ Criminals’ tradition of blending streetwise storytelling with a rich, genre‑fluid sound—proving that, decades after their debut, they’re still reinventing their own brand of New York–style mayhem on stage and in the studio.
