65daysofstatic

Formed by Joe Shresbury, Paul Wolinski and Iain Armstrong in 2001, later joined by Rob Jones and Simon Wright, the band achieve a sound similar to their luminaries, Mogwai, Godspeed! You Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky, although their incorporation of electronic influences helps them stand out from other post-rock troupes.

65daysofstatic released their debut album in 2004, "The Fall of Math," on their own imprint, Dustpunk Records. The album brought much positive critical acclaim to the band and helped to garner a strong cult following. In between embarking upon tours, the band managed to record two full-length album in the space of three years, releasing “One Time For All Time” in 2005 and “The Destruction of Small Ideas” in 2007, featuring contributions from members of The Miramar Disaster, Digital and Circle Takes the Square.

Through an invitation from The Cure, the band were able to spread their music across the United States, supporting the band on their US tour in 2008. Their live performance at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall went on to be used for their live album, “Escape From New York,” released in 2009.

Deciding to harness more electronica influences and sampling, 65daysofstatic developed their sound away from the focus on guitar-driven rock for their 2010 album, “We Were Exploding Anyway,” an evolution which they continued for their next releases, most notably for the EP, “Heavy Sky.” Through an IndieGoGo project, they managed to fund the recording of a film soundtrack, for the science fiction film, “Silent Running,” which was released as a limited edition vinyl in 2011. Their fifth album, “Wild Light,” came out in 2013, reverting back to the focus of guitars in their music.
