Influences
We mix rock, urban, mid-eastern, electric, acoustic, and whatever else comes along as long as it is cool.
Op-Critical is a band speaking truth to power through the media of music and imagery.
The band represents all the citizens of the world who oppose violence......
We also represent people who oppose governments that do not protect the fundamental rights of human beings. People everywhere are rejecting fear as a tool of control, as well as gratuitous attacks on innocents. They are speaking out against terrorists who use violence, and against democratic governments that become the mirror image of the terrorists they are fighting.

WE NEED TO UNITE AS A PEOPLE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR THE WORLD,AND WARS IS NEVER THE ANSWER, GOD SAID IT HIM SELF THAT SIN WILL KILL YOU IF YOU LET IT. FORGIVE ME I HAVE SINNED AND CAME SHORT OF THE GROLY OF GOD. GOD GIVE US A CHOICE IN LIFE. WE CAN CAUSE CHANGE OR MAKE PROBLEMS. TO CAUSE CHANGE MEANS WE MAKE THINGS BETTER THEN THEY WERE.

Hello. World Peace Before 2021 became your friend several months ago. Now I am much more accustomed to how MySpace works. So please forgive me for not 'commenting' until now. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil Kollist's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he performs beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm inviting you to contact my son directly too via his email address worldpeacebefore2021@hawaii.rr.com .I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Very best regards, Axil's mom
