Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals
The Innocent Criminals is the name of the band that accompanies Ben Harper in studio and on tour. This is also the name of his label. Their style of music was blues, funk, rock, soul and reggae. The year 2015 marks the year of reunion between the members. Origin: According to Juan Nelson it is Ben Harper who proposed this name. This name refers to the presumption of innocence in the United States and the difference in treatment between blacks and whites. An alleged innocent black man appearing before a court is not necessarily guilty but is necessarily an innocent criminal ... Since his album Welcome to the Cruel World in 1994 Ben Harper has always accompanied the Virgin Records label of his own label Innocent Criminal. But it is in 1997 on The Will to Live that one sees for the first time appear Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals.

Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.
