Static Thought

Hailing from the East Bay of San Francisco, Static Thought are here to show people that there is a band that still cares about the future of punk, music, and the state of the world.

Static Thought are not just a punk band, but rather a band that takes influence from all forms of music. "We all listen to all different kinds of music.

Hailing from the East Bay of San Francisco, Static Thought are here to show people that there is a band that still cares about the future of punk, music, and the state of the world.

Static Thought are not just a punk band, but rather a band that takes influence from all forms of music. "We all listen to all different kinds of music. We are into bands like Tool, AC/DC, Van Halen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Toots and the Maytals, Metallica, Tom Waits, Rolling Stones, Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, Primus, Iron Maiden, and many others. We think that every kind of music has it's own unique quality and if you shut too much out, a song can loose a better part of its life. We think people should be able to take whatever it may be from any song whether it be a melody, guitar or bass lick, drum fill, new rhythm, etc. People listen to music because it touches a nerve that nothing else does. Because of that each style has something to offer."

Static Thought are trying to change the world in a more direct way. "I became a punk because I always felt like I didn't fit in with my peers. Punk Rock became an outlet for my aggression and a place that shared many of my ideals. I think there are a lot of serious issues that people are unaware of in the punk scene; such as sexism, ignorance, and lack of self control. Here in the bay area three venues that were a Mecca for punk are now gone. In the city of Los Angeles almost no venues will hold hardcore punk shows for fear of riots. This is a big problem. People need to realize that the meaningless destruction that occurs is ruining our scene. There's no better way to take your anger out on something than running around like a mad man in the pit or going down to your neighborhood protest."

"Sexism is a huge problem that needs to be talked about. At almost every punk show you can guarantee that some dick will molest a girl. Punk Rock shows are supposed to be a place for everyone because we're all here for the same reasons. I think these acts of sexism should be viewed just the same as if a nazi was starting shit at a show. When someone yells nazi, everybody comes running. If somebody yelled molester, I don't believe it would get the same reaction from people. This needs to change!"

Static Thought believes that ideas are more important than a fashion, and certain integrity is more important than showing off ones wealth. They are here to change things so there might be a future for the next generation of outcasts like ourselves.
