Cyclone Static - Cave Pop [EP]
“There’s something in CYCLONE STATIC’s sound that’s evocative of a simpler time. Not just to a time of punk rock on the radio but a whole lost New Jersey paradise: Asbury Park before the renaissance, radios cranking out surf guitars and sandy, beach-blown harmonies, through empty lots full of downed power lines and bombed-out buildings.” – Geoff Rickly, Thursday
“A fuzzed-out nod to the punk frays of an early ‘90s flannel rock outfit. With tasteful melodic hooks adding a bit of Brit pop sensibility these men bring gritty authenticity to driving rock n roll.” – Davey Havok, AFI
Based out of Northern New Jersey in the New York City area, CYCLONE STATIC draws from and refines their best influences, merging elements of late-‘70s-punk, mid-‘80s hardcore, and early-‘90s alternative rock into raw, uninhibited music that captures their independent spirit and DIY ethos. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Stuart Richardson (No Devotion) at Rocky Water Studios.
Additionally, drummer Jonathan LeVine is a well-known curator, and art gallery owner in the NYC area with connections running deep into the regional punk, hardcore, and fanzine realms of the tri-state area. His gallery sells and has worked with many notable artists in the underground worlds of Pop Surrealism and Street Art including Shepard Fairey, Gary Baseman, Shag, and many others.
The bands debut album ‘From Scratch’ wowed adoring 90’s Alt fans as they had the chance to play sold out tri-state area shows with acts like Red Aunts, Piebald, Local H, Deadboys, Scream, Agent Orange and more. With their newest EP the band expands on their signature sound.
