Klasse Kriminale is an Italian punk band that brings together the subversive energy of punk with the community spirit of the Oi! subgenre. Hailing from Savona, the group was formed in 1985 by Marco Balestrino, who remains the band's lead singer and primary creative force. Over the decades, Klasse Kriminale has made a name for itself not only in Italy but throughout the international punk scene, blending sharp social commentary with a catchy, anthemic sound that speaks to the disenfranchised and the working class.

The band's music is characterized by its ability to unite fans across different scenes, underscores themes of anti-fascism, solidarity, and rebellion. Klasse Kriminale's discography includes a plethora of albums, EPs, and compilations that showcase their evolution while maintaining the raw edge and authenticity that have become their trademarks. Releases such as "NABAT + KLASSE KRIMINALE = TNT" and "The Rise and Fall of the Stylish Kids... Oi! Una Storia" not only display their prolific nature but also their deep roots in the Oi! movement as they continue to inspire new generations of punks with their unwavering commitment to the scene and their politically charged, yet upbeat messages.
