The Static Jacks are a fresh-faced indie garage quintet from New Jersey.

This young band – all but one are 19 - has taken the better half of this year to explore their sound, bringing Andrew Maury (RAC/Live Sound Engineer for Ra Ra Riot) into the studio for his producing debut. The result is an album that fully represents the band’s vibrant live sound. Featuring stomp-clap beats, mesmerizing layers of guitar rhythm and deep sandpaper vocals, The Static Jacks cast off the computer-based trends of modern music makers to reveal raw, honest lyrics and a youthful energy.

The self-released Laces EP, set for digital release September 15, 2009, features five brand new tracks that resonate influences ranging from 1980s punk to current indie pop music.

The Static Jacks have been playing together since the tender age of fifteen. By seventeen, they were playing the Knitting Factory in New York and have continued to play with the likes of Tokyo Police Club, Blind Pilot, Smoosh and Youth Group. The Static Jacks have also been featured on Nickelodeon’s hit show Zoey 101, as well as notable music sites such as RCRDLBL and Pop Tarts Suck Toasted.
