CRITICAL UNDERGROUND RECORDS is a small, DIY label designed to help support an artist's pure musical vision without interference from corporate interests. We are interested in underground artists of all genres from everywhere the world. We probably won't sell a million records, but if you cared about only that you wouldn't be here in the first place.
