Groundbreaking Sheffield rockers 65daysofstatic are to preview their new album with an upcoming UK tour.
People in Sheffield seem to do things differently. Having already given the world Warp Records, the city’s ever industrious rock spawned 65daysofstatic almost a decade ago.
Mixing post rock with electronics, the group’s live shows were unlike anything heard before. A stunning sonic assault, their volume was matched by moments of genuine beauty.
Since then, 65daysofstatic have become a cult phenomenon. Continual touring led to support from The Cure, with the goth rock legends inviting them aboard their lavish tour bus. Exposing the band to a wider audience, the Sheffield group decided to take time off.
Releasing a live album last year, 65daysofstatic were soon hard at work on new material. The result is ‘We Were Exploding Anyway’ the latest no holds barred statement from the Sheffield band.
Throwing away the rock textbook, 65daysofstatic have even disregarded their own output. Lean and polished, ‘We Were Exploding Anyway’ is yet another groundbreaking move from perhaps the most forward thinking rock band in the UK.
Due for release on April 26th, 65daysofstatic are set to preview their new album with a series of tour dates. Despite their increasingly adept studio activities the band essentially remain a live beast – prepare yourself.
