Founded by songwriter and guitarist Rick Harkness, Criminal Hero is a Canadian rock project born in Toronto, shaped in Detroit, and now based in Vancouver. Bridging classic rock swagger with modern precision, Harkness channels a sound deeply tied to Detroit’s legendary rock lineage—earning praise from SPIN Magazine as "a refreshing blast of pure Detroit-powered punk rock... in the spirit of The Stooges and the MC5."
Their brand new single, “Do You Wanna Go,” leads off their debut album Walk Through the Fire with a dark, compelling story about manipulation, betrayal, and breaking point tension. Built on warm, saturated guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and an unforgettable hook, the track delivers an absolute punch. Between the raw punk energy, old-school attitude, and killer vocal performance, it’s an amazingly cool track that captures the exact moment confrontation turns into redemption.
