STATIC 84 - THE SERVANTS ARE RISING 12 ''

STATIC 84´s THE SERVANTS ARE RISING 12" that was released on JOIN THE TEAM PLAYER records in may 2000 is the best melodic HARDCORE album that that was ever released by a German band! period! it includes 12 driving tracks that are catchy and rock like hell! the last song on the record WORLDS COLLIDE was already on their 7" and was re-recorded for the 12". WORLDS COLLIDE is the only mid tempo song on the record but is as catchy as the other tracks. their myspace site says: Lyric-wise STATIC 84 were far from the regular meaningles MTV lyrics that seem to be so typical for bands of that genre. Their songs deal with those situations in live that we all have to face at one point or another - missed opportunities, regrets and the personal struggles one has to go through when trying to get by in hard times. which is true! when they recorded this, they recorded one song that didn´t make it on the record but can be downloaded here!

STATIC 84 - INNER WALL CD

their myspace site says this: From old school to New School and all the way back... You like fast, melodic and ass kicking music with a melancholy edge? Well here you go! STATIC 84 play hardcore in the original meaning of the word. They are not some tough guy old school rip-off but they do play HC-PUNK the way it used to be before Metal and Indie-Pop took over. If one had to come up with a comparison the bands of your choice would probably be DAG NASTY, GOOD RIDDANCE and BY THE GRACE OF GOD. and that is very much to the point! formed in 1996 (calling themselves SHINY COFFIN in the beginning) they released their first CD INNER WALL in 1997. while music-wise the 8 songs on this CD couldn´t set them apart from the rest of the melodic HARDCORE bands, lyric-wise they could as they managed to write really great personal lyrics!

STATIC 84 - ANOTHER FUNERAL 7''

this 7" probably could claim to be the most tattooed cover to be on the record of a Bavarian band! I don`t know exactly how much people have this drawing inked under their skin but there are quite some! well, no wonder if you grew up here when we did chances that you lost more than one friend to a heroin overdose, suicide or jail were quite high and somehow this drawing, that was done by a friend of them who grew up with them, sums it all up! this is the cover of the 1st pressing on BAD INFLUENCE rec. there is a 2nd pressing on DANCING IN THE DARK rec., that is done by Oise the STATIC 84 bassplayer, that one is white on black! 6 great melodic songs that show a real development if compared to their 1st CD! but even though they made a big step forward you just can´t imagine what a brilliant full length they would manage to do later!
