GLOBAL UNDERGROUND MUSIC
CRITICAL UNDERGROUND is a global DIY collective with the goal of documenting the worldwide underground music scene through physical and digital music releases, interviews and music, live show and indie record store reviews, via our network of like-minded collaborators.
CRITICAL UNDERGROUND RECORDS works directly with creative underground artists of all genres to bring their music into the world.

CRITICAL UNDERGROUND RECORDS works directly with creative underground artists of all genres to bring their music into the world. We want our artists to be heard, and to support them we can do anything from independently releasing music to full music production and recording to achieve their vision for their work.
We are a small label designed to help achieve and promote an artist's pure musical vision without interference from corporate interests. We probably won't sell a million records for you, but if you cared about only that, though, you wouldn't be here in the first place. You never know, though. Stranger things have happened.
Please contact us if you are interested in working with us on your next project.
CRITICAL UNDERGROUND documents artists, bands, performances and vendors that contribute to the underground scene. Underground music scenes are happening around the world, everywhere, as we speak.

CRITICAL UNDERGROUND documents artists, bands, performances and vendors that contribute to the underground scene. Underground music scenes are happening around the world, everywhere, as we speak. Anyone putting themselves out there to create honest art and spread positivity, regardless of the potential commercial benefit, is worth supporting. Our contributors attempt to inform our peers about what is going on where they live and share their discoveries. Hopefully, Critical Underground will open up your world to THE world through the music simmering deep down below the surface.
Because this is about sharing an experience that goes beyond what we can do on a computer, everything posted here is documented first-hand - DIY. The contributor actually saw, heard, tasted, and breathed what we publish. We want to find and celebrate artists and bands who may not have the visibility or resources to have their own recordings out there. If they do, we'll help hunt it down.

Critical Underground founder Dan Diego of the genre-blending LEXANILA has spent over a decade living abroad and following local music. Dan realized others would probably want to know what's out there too, so he figured he'd help...
