Bitter Amercian Live and Loud

The Cricket Cemetery family runs red with thick blood. Label mates, Bitter American, a true testament to the hardcore punk rock of the 80′s, tore the seams from the carpet as they destroyed a set to pieces at American University this last Friday. Honest, and angry, and certainly not kids, friendships and working relations be-damned, [...]

LTW – TOTAL GARBAGE review

Fotis Patikas from Take your shot was nice enough to sit down and type out how he feels about the new LTW 7 inch – TOTAL GARBAGE. Take your shot has been doing obnoxiously excellent reviews of hardcore and metal since 2004. We love Greece. Chirp Chirp. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Record Review: LTW “Total Garbage” 7″ Cricket [...]

2011 CC Halloween Shirt

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday.  This has been a real big year for the label (the only year, but that’s ok).  I wanted to celebrate this evil, tooth decaying holiday and rep my hood a little at the same time.  Ringspun cotton-limited to 32 pieces-sizes youth large through extra large. These damned garments [...]

The Bam Bams: Live Video from the Black Cat

As you may or may not know, the District of Columbia was fortunate enough, several weeks ago, to host America’s queens of bubblegum, The Bam Bams, on the Black Cat mainstage. Star crossed between Baltimore and Chicago, this hasn’t stopped the dynamic duo from churning out track after track of grade A maple syrupy pop [...]

Our Name is Legion//Our Projects are Many

Well, well, well, it seems I’ve returned to my own vizion, and with the same carni-barking hustle in tow. Those of us living in the EV are often deeply contorted through a multitude of projects, and while I can’t speak for the total mass, I will say that Sean, Ian, and I are in the [...]

Cricket Cemetery goes to the movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

I’m sure Denman will make fun of me for doing a review of the new Transformers. That’s fine. I’m not perfect. As a human, I am flawed. Ideals and beliefs swimming around in my head. Some of these I live my life by.. some I choose to ignore at certain times. I will be the [...]

RESTLESS TEST PRESS GIVEAWAY

So one reason to check this blog is to stay up to date on all the nutty shit that were up to.  Another is to take advantage of cool shit that you won’t find anywhere else.  What could i possibly be talking about…. …. .. I had 10 test presses made for the upcoming Restless demo [...]

HI ASSHOLES

My name is Ian, it’s very nice to meet you. I am proud to announce the release of Cricket Cemetery number two: Lions&Tigers&Whales – STATE VIOLENCE SPLIT SEVEN INCH.  I’m real into this record and everyone who’s gotten a copy so far has shared my same enthusiasm.  Except for some kid with a blog who  didn’t [...]

Cricket [fucking] Cemetery

So, recently my friend Ian pulled the willing trigger, and finally started his own record label: CRICKET CEMETERY While I will surely speak a volume on this later (especially as I am a contributing write to the label’s site), for now I simply wanted to loose a small word. With a firm background in many [...]
