OpCritical is a response to the critical state of America and the world today. Their music, lyrics, and videos are a mirror of the monster before us, the Demogorgon, which can and will destroy everything in its wake unless there is a powerful citizen operation to push back. The members of the band are not important but the message of their music is. Intense, immediate, raw, and emotional, it is meant to inspire people to get off the couch and protect their fundamental rights. Now OpCritical present their single and video, “Doing Fine”, which presents an an irreverent commentary on societal conformity. In today's society, especially with constant social media pressuring people to conform, it is sometimes difficult to walk one's own path. Institutional pressure might come from a rigid home environment, an intolerant religious organization or school, or even a prison that punishes freedom of thought or expression. In "Doing Fine," they unapologetically announce that they did not succumb to all these pressures, yet they are doing fine. OpCritical hopes this message will inspire others to embrace their own uniqueness. In the song and the video, OpCritical intentionally combined the vibe of the Grunge and Punk eras that celebrated a break from conformity.
In response to the dangers currently facing America, OpCritical will regularly release new songs and videos until the danger is gone. Stay tuned!
