Static "Toothpaste And Pills (Demos And Live 1978-1981)"

FORMAT

Long before John Brannon cemented himself as a USHC icon, you would hear rumblings about his pre-Negative Approach, glam group, Static. Fast forward to 2020 and a few months into the COVID-19 lockdown, Brannon came across a bunch of tapes he dug out of a box in his Mom's closet: Static "Demos '78," Static "Live At Grosse Pointe South H.S.," and Static "Live At Plewa Hall." Third Man Records is beyond ecstatic to be providing this long-missing piece of the American underground music puzzle.
