The Statics


Formed in late 2010, The Statics are a four-piece Dublin outfit consisting of Liam Gardner (Lead Vocal/Guitar), Daragh O’Connell (Backing Vocal/ Guitar), Jacqueline Campion (Drums) and Thomas Nugent (Bass Guitar).

Mixing the pop sensibilities of the Beatles, the snarling vocals of The Arctic Monkeys and not forgetting the rhythmic acoustic guitars of the Everlys (and hopefully their harmonies!) The Statics are a truly powerful force live and on record. The Statics sound clocks in somewhere between The La’s, The Arctic Monkeys, The Kinks and the Coral; all this without losing their own vision, imagination, originality and downright danceability. Their demo was recorded in Dublin's Qube Studios using analogue equipment and one computer for one little tiny second! The debut release will be Holiday which was recorded live at Westland Studios with the renowned Alwyn Walker. It will be available to your eyes and ears at the end of Autumn 2012.

The Statics are busy gigging all over Ireland and will continue to do so promoting their debut single. With invitations to play festivals such as Sea Sessions, Casltepalooza and Ballinamore Fringe Festival under their belt, 2012 is going to be an exciting year for The Statics.

Reviews:
“The Statics write damn fine melodic pop songs.... We highly recommend you see this band live and defy you not to have a good time.” – Stephen Byrne, Goldenplec.com “It’s been a while since hearing a band like this, too long in fact, There’s is heart warming indie-goodness played with energy and a refreshing honesty and conviction, not to mention an overwhelming ability to get you moving” - Barry Gruff “If you go see them live they will impress you “- Kevin Toher, Its a Tangent
