Crimes is the fourth studio album by the American band The Blood Brothers, released on October 12, 2004. It is their second major label album and their first for V2. Produced by John Goodmanson, the album was recorded in two months in the band's hometown of Seattle.

Much of the lyrics for the album are a political reaction to the mass media and the military policy of the Bush administration, inspired heavily by the election year of 2004. “I thought the collective dissent of our generation would bring about positive change. When that didn’t happen I felt like the bottom had fallen out,” vocalist Jordan Blilie commented.

All songs written by The Blood Brothers.
