INFO: Three members of the idealistic side of the punk rock scene and a classically trained pianist, armed with a desire to write unique songs neither devoid of style nor dominated by it, this Burlington, VT-based quartet mines the last 30 years of alternative music-- from New Order to Gang Of Four to The Cure-- for inspiration and draws on romantic loss and melancholic longing, delivering with the unmistakable urgency and honesty of a band that matters. The songs weave Andrew Paley's beautifully weathered vocals and textured guitars with Sarah Rose-Cameron's elegant keyboard melodies over the backdrop of Adam Meilleur's punchy bass lines and Tim Alek Mulley's tempered drums. The Static Age has developed its own sound -- one that infuses melody, atmosphere, a strong backbeat, and lyrics alternately acerbic and melancholic, and one that manages to sound like nothing else before it.
