About Me

Hypercricket = jet engine. Your ears = seagull
Hypercricket is a melodic skate-punk band with a wide range of musical influences (like Scottish pipe-drumming or Scott Joplin's ragtime piano) that are drawn from our unique instrumental line-up. Our lyrics capture coming of age politically and personally as we sing about aspects of modern life that directly and indirectly impact us: stuff like booty-calls, relationships, our oil-addicted westernized civilization and gang-related murder are all fair game. While we're based in Toronto now, we grew-up together in the town of Lindsay, found in cottage country north of Toronto. With touring, label, recording and separate band experiences under our collective belts, we started the band in 2003 and set out to write our own blend of high-energy songs that we could play live in the Toronto area and hopefully elsewhere someday. Now we're part of Toronto's independent music scene and we're playing a 12 song set regularly.
Hypercricket has an official website if you'd like to learn more about our band. Thanks for dropping by.
