The Critical are a unit of idealistic pioneers raised during the influential 80’s & 90’s, and are the result of pop culture, terrestrial television and various sci-fi cult movies. Their aim is to create a sound that encompasses everything they have experienced and encountered during their diverse, but strangely parallel lives; lyrically exposed stories of social politics, societies taboos and human nature, combined with powerful vocals, exuberant guitars, driving bass lines and heart pounding, adrenaline-fuelled drum beats make up The Critical’s unique repertoire. The band started by winning an unsigned competition to become Mercury FM’s Official Breakfast Show Band after gaining thousands of votes from local listeners. They went on to appear on various radio shows in and around the South East of England, as well as regularly featuring in local press with requests for full-page interviews. The Critical thrive on live performances and have played in many salubrious locations and venues all over the South East, London, Brighton, Nottingham, Coventry, as well as playing at Isle of Wight Festival, Turning Point Festival and Redfest. They have been building an army of fans that show loyalty and commitment to the band. Apart from being chosen to perform as part of the build up to the BT Digital Music Awards and winning competitions on local radio, The Critical have now stepped up their game by securing financing to record their debut album through www.slicethepie.com, a new music website phenomenon. Their music was given a top rating out of over 1,000 bands internationally. The Critical are currently in the studio with up-and-coming producer Guy Katsav making their debut album titled 'Where do we go from here', expected for release later this year.
