“The best way I can think to describe a Static In The Stars show is guitar-shredding, drum-smashing, epic rock n’ roll you can dance to with catchy vocals that leave you singing the lyrics days later. Static takes the best parts of 80’s hair metal and combine that head-banging epic-ness with modern harmonies, split time and catchy lyrics to create a fantastic diverse sound not quite like anything else.”


"Visceral and engaging – a sound that will chew you up and spit you back out again - this local band proved to be one of the more exciting acts at this year’s Virgin Festival."

Vancouver based five-piece rock band Static in the Stars has been on a steady rise. Combining 80's cock rock with modern influences like Anberlin and the Foo Fighters they have created a new brand of straight ahead rock and roll that sets no boundaries and takes no prisoners. Originally formed in Calgary, but re-located to Vancouver, the band has one goal and that is to deliver rock and roll back to the masses.

Static in the Stars continue to increase their profile with a number of head turning festival showcases at CMW, NXNE, Indie Week and Junofest. They were also Top 20 Fox Seeds finalists for the CFOX 99.3 Fox Seeds competition, which has launched the careers of such acts like Nickleback and Default.

They shared the stage with acts such as Pearl Jam, Wintersleep, K-OS and Billy Talent at Virgin Festival Alberta 2009. They played Boonstock 2010 alongside The Offspring, Papa Roach, Chevelle, Matt Good and others. A number of their songs have been licensed to stream on the upcoming Teletoon site for the new show Stoked.

While in Calgary, they opened for Twisted Sister during the Calgary Stampede, won the semi-finals of the Fuel 90.3 Big Rock Star Competition and the Ceilis Canada Day Rock Fest, received radio play on X92.9, 100.3 The Bear, 104.9 The Wolf and Fuel 90.3, licensed their song "Lost Vegas" for the film "The Service" and caught the attention of Tommy Mac from Hedley. Needless to say, they have been busy.

Their latest album "No Grace in Goodbyes" was produced by Tommy Mac from multi-platinum recording artists Hedley, engineered by Juno nominated Dean Maher (Elton John, AC/DC, Slayer, Rise Against, Chevelle, Atreyu) and mastered by Chris Potter (Sarah MacLachlan, Run DMC, The Cranberries, Rufus Wainright, Delirium). Released in October 2009 it showcases Static in the Stars unique brand of rock and roll.

The band and Tommy Mac have recently begun pre-production on a new set of songs that will further illustrate their growth as songwriters and musicians.

Cumulatively, the members of Static in the Stars have a wealth of experience in the music industry, so upon formation they set out to make music with no limits, preconceptions nor boundaries of any scene. They feel as at home with intimate acoustic sessions as they do with full on bombastic rock and roll.

With the release of their new album and subsequent touring and promotional plans Static in the Stars are poised to continue their momentum and deliver their rock and roll to even more fans.
