Salt Water Criminals - 'Sit Tight Spin Out' Tour

Salt Water Criminals present 'Sit Tight Spin Out' live.

After releasing a string of singles with the kind of thoughtful progressions and gooey hooks they've become celebrated for, Tamaki-based Salt Water Criminals have announced a tour of the South Island.

It's been a year since the alt-rock/power-pop band were down south supporting their sophomore album 'I Believe in Dog', which landed at 19 on Rolling Stone AU's 50 Best New Zealand albums of 2025 list.

Salt Water Criminals are one of the most pleasing grassroots success stories in recent New Zealand music, building their reputation through exhilarating live shows - Rolling Stone AU.

Their third album 'Sit Tight Spin Out', set for release on October 23, puts to boil the excitement about this DIY kiwi band, with each set adding to a history of lively and much-talked-about shows.
