Attica Static
Attica Static was formed in 2006 when four closely knit friends decided that their shared love for music, and in particular ‘Incubus’, would be enough reason to start a band. With Sam Fairman on guitar, Stephen McKeown on bass, Kris Rogers on drums and Darren Kierans taking charge of vocal duties, the band then under the name of Hotcarl prospered and went through the ranks in Dundalk and surrounding areas. Sam being the creative engine behind the band, he drove the band on to bigger and better things, and given his unique musical background, he continued to pour everything he had into writing the most impressive riffs and song structures around today. On top of that, the inclusion of Joe Furlong sparked an instant spur of song writing and their sound developed into something more, taking together more diverse types of music from each member of the band. Since then, Joe has left the band and the band took a long break from performing but continued to experiment and write music together. Attica Static was the name chosen to represent a new chapter in how the band was to be seen, doing away with the old name 'Hotcarl', they've created a altogether unique sound taking together the style and panache of Incubus, the raw power and energy of At The Drive In, and the catchy rock hooks of Muse, to name but a few. The band, now all 20 years of age, sees itself as a totally new prospect, starting from scratch in August 2009 and giving everything for all their potential to be reached.
It’s Alt Rock with a difference, that difference being Sam’s unique song direction, not to mention a talented rhythm section to back him up. Top that with catchy and soaring vocals and you've got Attica Static.
