Artist: The Static Jacks

A band that shines live, like TSJ do, is so rarely able to capture that energy, that raw ache, that their live sound has when they get to the studio. Well...the Static Jacks aren't just any band and their new EP, Spray Tan, proves it. [...]

• The Static Jacks - Young Guns

frontpage_features: On April 27th, The Static Jacks played Pittsburgh's Club AE in support of The Wombats . The show was amazing and we were there with our cameras to prove it! [...]

If you listen hard enough, there's a subversive side to the Wombats ' infectious guitar pop. But you'd never know it from the energy Tuesday night at the El Rey Theatre, where the Liverpool trio gave a show that was all about exuberance. The tunes from the band's sophomore album "This Modern Glitch" might as well have been caffeine for the young crowd, which warmed up with sets from New jersey's the Static Jacks and SoCal quintet the Neighbourhood , the latter of whom were playing their first proper L.A. show to an audience peppered with [...]

Brit pop, sweaty hair flying, and dancing filled The El Rey Theatre Tuesday evening. Everyone seems to be buzzing about the first opener The Neighbourhood with record executives in the house ready to sign. Static Jacks have been touring with its girlfriend The Wombats for many months and frontman Ian Devaney owns the stage. Screams for "Tokyo" were directed at Liverpool's The Wombats almost as soon as they walked out on stage. The tight trio have released only two studio albums, but have many hits and many fans who lined up early to [...]

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka The Big Pink - "Lose Your Mind" Dr. Dog singer/bassist Toby Leaman is one sadistic dude. Why else would he kidnap and torture his entire band? But I guess on the grand scale of torturing people, getting flour and confetti thrown in your face isn't exactly like spending a weekend at Guantanamo Bay. Finn Riggins – "Plural" Here, Finn Riggins entice you to come and see the wonders of Idaho [...]

By Emilia D'Albero When The Wombats' last show at Webster Hall in October ended in thunderous applause and shrill cheers, it was clear that they would definitely be back again soon to shake the venue with bouncing bass riffs and catchy synth melodies. Last Thursday, The Wombats did indeed return to New York City- to Webster Hall again, in fact- and elicited perhaps even more excited and intense reactions from the audience than they had in October. Even before doors ...

Last year at one of our CMJ parties, New Jerseys Static Jacks tore the place up. With their onstage energy and outright dirty guitars the place was electric. Today they've offered up a brand new track and video to accompany the track titled "Young Guns". It's set to feature on their forthcoming EP Spray Tan which was recorded entirely in a friends converted storage space which adds some interesting sounds to the track with production credits going to Andrew Maury. Peep the video up at the top via CoS as we await more [...]

New Jersey tends to get a bad rap as a place to live. As a source for music, however, it's a well-known bastion of quality (see: Bruce Springsteen, The Fugees, The Gaslight Anthem). Last year, the four gents of The Static Jacks contributed their first full-length, If You're Young , to the Garden State's musical canon. The album is an energetic blend of garage and indie sounds; it has all the fire of punk, with the polish and movability of poppier rock. With their new EP, Spray Tan (well, they are from Jersey), [...]

Ever wondered what would happen if you let a guitar band loose in a furniture shop? Watch below as New Jersey's Static Jacks get to do exactly that at Mona Liza Fine Furniture in Brooklyn, playing 'My Parents Lied'. Drummer Nick Brennan even takes one for the team, using a rubbish bin as a replacement for his usual skins. Don't go "wasting time", hurry up and go watch the video. The band are currently on the road in North America supporting their previous tour buddies the Wombats. [...]

Washington DC - No matter how good a concert, there is always a little hole in my heart when my other half (aka Celeste) is not with me. The size of the hole grows larger the more danceable (or, in our case of limited dance skillz, wiggle-inducing) the music. Last night's concert, featuring The Static Jacks and The Wombats ripped my heart in two. These bands were sooooo good live and their music is irresistibly catchy. First up were The Static Jacks who did what any good band does: gets on-stage and rocks out hard with [...]

Last Friday's (3/23) show at the Echo was beyond legendary. Howler, Static Jacks, and TOPS came together in perfect harmony to deliver a seemingly never-ending display of skill, talent, and entertainment. The Echo is privy to lots of indie-alternative acts, ... Continued

Review by Chris Gedos PHOTO: Jordan Gatesmith of Howler The only way to accurately judge Howler's debut album is to break it down and critique each individual variable, such as songs, production, musicianship, originality, etc., for to approach it otherwise forces one to harp upon Is This It . Not that America Give Up is trying to be The Strokes verbatim, but the two bands have already been so relentlessly linked by the populace that we're [...]

Today marks one of the season's greatest shows in the LA area. Howler, Static Jacks, and TOPS will come together in creative harmony to give an unrivaled set of performances, one after another. All of these bands are remarkable in ... Continued

New tour from TSJ.

It's frantic, it's lively, it's raucous and its lyrics sound like they're being sung from a good distance away! It's the Static Jacks with their debut album 'If You're Young'. Now if you're late to the indie rock party, these guys are from Westfield, New Jersey, have been gigging since 2007, and are fronted by Ian Devaney a vocalist with a serious case of the ever so talenteds. It seems it's in vogue at the moment to have a frontman whose voice has that nice echoey touch, first White Lies [...]

Words: Saam Das New Jersey The Static Jacks released their debut album, 'If You're Young' in the UK this week following its US release last year. I popped down to Brixton Academy the other week to check the band out supporting The Wombats , a band much maligned despite being quite inoffensive. The Static Jacks offered a spirited rambunction which pleased the terrifyingly pre-pubescent crowd and you can listen to a couple such tracks off the [...]
