Biography:
Critical Me formed back in December of 2001 out of San Diego, CA. The concept behind the name Critical Me was based on individuals being critical of and challenging the social and political boundaries that are forced upon us. We wanted to convey this message with energetic punk rock as our major influences are Pennywise, Bad Religion, and Lagwagon. Using this foundation, we started playing venues across Southern California including San Diego House of Blues, Whisky A Go Go, Soma, Casbah, Canes Bar & Grill, Brick by Brick, and Epicenter. At the end of 2006, Critical Me signed with Magnitude 6.19 Records and released our debut album "Promised Land" in October of 2007.
Other notable achievements include:
Over 60,000 plays and 45,000 friends on MySpace
Highlighted in Band Watch section in No Cover magazine
Participated in national organization to prevent teenage drinking by being on a compilation CD
Recently played with The Adolescents and Guttermouth
Multiple awards on garagebands.com including band and track of the week

Description: Critical Me lyrically and musically pushes the envelope on the listener with their social and political ideals that has taken the line once drawn in the sand by "Punk as we know it", and obliterated it completely.
