The post-hardcore/alternative rock outfit A Static Lullaby came together after a casual high-school jam session convinced its participants to quit their existing bands and launch a new group. Formed in 2001 in Orange County, CA, the band's initial lineup comprised singer Joe Brown, bassist Phil Pirrone, drummer Brett Dinovo, and guitarists Dan Arnold and Nathan Lindeman. A Static Lullaby's first show occured two week's after this formation, and a buzz began to build as the band played additional gigs on the local circuit. They soon recorded and self-released the Withered EP, and Ferret Records signed the group during the summer of 2002. After recording an album with producer Steve Evetts (Snapcase, Hatebreed), A Static Lullaby released . And Don't Forget to Breathe in March 2003. The album laid the foundation for the band's music, yet hinted at a creativity not yet completely tapped. Over a year of touring followed, which led to strained relations within the band, including the exit of founding member Dinovo (who returned to school after his departure). Nevertheless, A Static Lullaby soon upgraded their label to Columbia Records and began to work on a follow-up album. Faso Latido appeared in April 2005 with Lou Giordano (Sunny Day Real Estate, Taking Back Sunday) producing and Sammy Siegler (Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits) filling in on drums. With the album complete, the band prepared to search for a permanent drummer. However, Dinovo approached his old bandmates at a show and wound up rejoining the group in mid-2005. That same year also saw A Static Lullaby joining the popular Taste of Chaos tour alongside the Used and Killswitch Engage. More departures followed, though, and January 2006 left the band in an uncertain state after Pirrone, Dinovo, and Lindeman all left the group. A Static Lullaby had also been dropped by Columbia, having failed to sell enough copies of their sophomore album. Forging ahead, they were soon embraced by the California-based Fearless Records, and by March, Brown and Arnold had rounded out their band with the addition of guitarist John Martinez, bassist Dane Poppin, and drummer Jarrod Alexander. Working again with producer Evetts, the refreshed quintet issued a self-titled album in October and launched a tour alongside I Am Ghost. Additional lineup changes followed (Martinez left the group and was not replaced, while Tyler Mahurin stepped in for the departing Alexander), A Static Lullaby continued onward with the release of 2008's Rattlesnake!.

Download As PDF : Static Station Lullaby edition by Amber Pitt Literature Fiction eBooks Jared Reed's life isn't what he'd hoped for. He's tired of going to school for a degree he doesn't want, tired of fighting with a girlfriend too young to understand him, and to top it all off a drunken one night stand reminds him that he's not as straight as he'd like to think he is. When his friend Jimmy offers to start a new band, it seems like a fresh start. Something to look forward to in a sea of monotony. That is until Jimmy introduces him to their new bandmate, Conor Morgan. The one night stand Jared had hoped to never see again. WARNING This book contains explicit scenes unsuitable for those under 18. Static Station Lullaby edition by Amber Pitt Literature Fiction eBooks. This was a strange book. If you're thinking this might be a book about rockstars, think again. It's a band made up primarily of high-school students. And the band's lead, one of the two main characters, apparently likes them young, like 16 years old, girl or boy. That's legal in Ohio, the setting for the book, but certainly not all that laudable. Yes, the lead character, Jared, has some serious problems, but until he falls in love with his pudgy, but young, bandmate does not appear to have a conscience. Boy meets boy. Boy throws boy out in the morning. Boy meets boy again, hates him. Boy falls in love with boy - happily ever after. All of this might mean just another run-of-the-mill, but acceptable, M/M novel, were it not for the execrable editing, which got worse and worse as the book progressed. First of all, I don't know if it was the author's strange quirk or just bad formatting, but there were paragraph breaks in the middle of sentences: She [paragraph] went to the store. And then there were a host of amateurish typos, such as the brand new emotion the author inadvertently invented: "revoltion" (doesn't anyone have a damned spell checker any more? Even my browser's spell checker highlights that word, and this is just a customer review!). Toward the end of the book, there were even repeat paragraphs two pages apart, like reading a skipping record. I might have gotten moved by emotional content (probably not, as there wasn't all that much moving emotional content in the book), except for the endless distractions of the typos, errors in subject and verb agreement ("his intentions was. ") and the like. Product details.

Static Station Lullaby edition by Amber Pitt Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews. I love this book because it doesn't sugar coat the reality of messed up relationships. Especially broken teen relationships. They're not healthy, they're not functional, but they're not meaningless either. This is a book about messed up people, two messed up people in love. I don't think it glorifies mental illness and dysfunctional relationships like a lot of similar books out there. I didn't particularly like Jared but you could definitely sense his rage and pain through the authors words which provided a very raw experience. As a first novel for the author I would say it does a bang up job of conveying exactly how painful it is to love some one who can never properly love you back. And the experience of trying to grow through and around that while still being caught in the middle of it. Like a fair amount of books about teenage growing pains I think this highlights exactly why these types of books are meaningful. They capture the agony of growing up and show that people that young still have problems, some more so, and are just trying to live their lives and get by to perhaps a less hectic and terrible future. Definitely give this a read if any of that strikes a chord with you. It certainly did with me. Kudos to the author! I wanted to hate this book. I hated Jared. I knew jared(s). This was such a marvelously edgy ride through the reality of mental illness and the fact that reality is still there to deal with (or not) with or without the meds(of whatever kind). The typos and grammar blips were few but still annoying to me and I wonder how these types of publications are actually, if at all, edited. It was a raw, raucous and , for me at least, a real and riveting read that has kept me up to the finish at 2 a m from 5 when I started. I really have to say that the lack of safer sex practices is worrisome on a lot of levels. I know this is fiction and so why can't it all just go away for the moment but I live in a reality that can never let me forego the admonition. Good job amber! This was a strange book.

I respect all authors for attempting a novel, even when they don't succeed. Wouldn't it be nice if they had the same respect for me, their reader. A Static Lullaby A Static Lullaby. A Static Lullaby was nothing but a name to me for the longest time. I recall hearing their name mentioned on The Taste of Chaos tour some years ago and hearing someone drop their name once in awhile, but I was never completely compelled or motivated to check them out. Yet when the line up was revealed for 2007’s Take Action Tour and they were on the bill as one of the opening acts I figured that I was due for a listen, seeing as I would attend the show. The fact that the group had recently released a self titled album only helped my case. With no past knowledge or experiences for comparisons, A Static Lullaby is a slightly over produced record with some heavy riffs, rapid rhythms, and an aggressive yet melodic nature. On the other end it has a more peaceful side on which the band attempts to create some diverse moods. Despite it falling victim to a generic and inconsistent state, it ends up more enjoyable than not. One of the first things noticeable of this record is the production. It is both a hit and a miss in the sense that it is slightly over produced. However, the compromise and advantage of this is that bass is clearly heard. In fact the overall mix here is very pleasing but listeners might be curious as to how this would sound in a rawer environment. Regardless of that, the production really does not take away much from the record. A brief key section opens “Hang ‘Em High” before the entire group comes in with their sound. Consisting of rapid drums, speedy chords, and intense screams, things start off with a bang. They stay at that tempo and ferocity for a few mere bars before introducing a more melodic side. The rest of the verse is much softer as it introduces one hell of a catchy chorus. They do some dual vocal patterns throughout the chorus, and do it quite well. There is a lot indeed going on so far, yet they all keep it very smooth in transition and overall sound. Drums have a great deal of enjoyable fills and during the bridge the guitarists dish out some tasteful riffs. The noticeably heavy bridge somehow transitions beautifully into the final chorus. “And it’s more than just a loss / but it’s over / we’re not singing mournful thoughts / and it’s over” As simple as they are, those lines are down right infectious. It is quite easy to see why “Hang ‘Em High” was a single as it starts the record off in terrific fashion. However, things falter very early. The second track “Contagious” is much slower than the previous track as well as far worse. Things here sound very forced, from the screaming at a slower tempo to a lot of the singing transitions. Musically things take a huge step back as well as plenty of the riffs and leads are bland. Overall both the slow tempo and the softer sound in general do not work here. There really is not a whole lot to remember about this one as things drag on forever and in general it sounds as though the band is just going through the motions. It also doesn’t help that this is the second longest track on the record. This really does show a very unfortunate aspect of the record; as the heaviness dies down, the quality tends to follow it. This repeats itself once more in “The Collision” . After a short clean guitar intro, some shouting comes in over top of it. Things sound half hearted and entirely out of place. The only saving grace here is some nice bass lines during the verse. Once more the singing in the chorus sounds forced, mainly due to its transition. The tone of the singing is enjoyable but in general the song is far too boring for its long length due to predictable transitions and repetitive sections. I am all for variety in a record, but here A Static Lullaby has not determined how to construct these types of songs well. Thankfully, their self titled record features more of the fast paced, in your face songs which they do know how to do fairly well. “The Art of Sharing Lovers” is a prime example of this, as it takes listener’s through multiple sections while keeping a consistent groove. Its slowly building lead brings in a bit of suspense before a fast paced verse takes over. The riff persists into the first half of the verse keeping the intensity up. When the transition to singing is made, it flows well as guitars turn the volume down for a few bars. Eventually things transition back to screaming before they churn out a singing chorus. With the multiple mood and intensity shifts, this could be a recipe for disaster. However, here they transition extremely fluently and things stay enjoyable. The guitar work here is really a treat as riffs and rhythms are spot on. Even the different sections flow in very nice such as the heavier bridge with some spots of dissonance. Great riffs, nice vocals and variety seem to come in abundance throughout “The Art of Sharing Lovers.” After the fumble in “The Collision” things once again pick up in “Trigger Happy Tarantula” which features more enjoyable riffing and even a dominating hook. There is certainly more of a pop aspect incorporated here thanks to the slightly slower tempo and lack of screaming. The progressions in the chorus certainly hint towards this as they are played over the hooky vocal switch offs. Here the rotating vocals really take the spotlight as they perfectly fit the chorus and offer something a little different. Once again not the most original track, but things are convincingly solid in performance and presentation. Another softer song comes out in “Eager Cannibals” . Things are quite repetitive here and nothing really grabs the listener’s attention. One might assume they are trying to create a unique atmosphere with the softer sound but the result is dominantly boring, bland, and forgettable music. Just about the only thing worth mentioning about this one is the somewhat groovy bass line during the verse. Once more, an effort for attempting to break from the norm results in a failed attempt at a softer song and ends up screaming filler. “Stare at the Air” successfully brings a much needed new atmosphere into play. It is definitely screaming pop with its progressions but still maintains a very sturdy hardcore edge. Overall the energy present here is outstanding and this certainly ends up as a nice sing-a-long with a different feel from plenty of the album. Its shorter length and typical structure actually help it accomplish that as it stays at a fairly constant tempo throughout. It certainly does a great deal to pull out the seemingly sluggish direction the end of the album was headed towards. Unfortunately, the closing song “Mechanical Heart” attempts for a dramatic and grand ending. It has a bit of an awkward feel to it due to the atmosphere they are attempting to create. Its moderate tempo and just overall slower style don’t cut it at all for an ending. Things once more fall victim to the plague of being a rough listen when the slower tempo comes out. The guitar solo is decent but is a little too little too late as far as I’m concerned. Similar to the previous slower songs, the closing track ends up no different as it is fairly dull, sloppy in transition, and far too long. They seem to be calming putting listener’s to sleep as the album comes to a close. Personally, I would have rather been kicked in the balls or put into cardiac arrest but they really went the other way with that one and didn’t exactly end with ideal quality either. The main problem with A Static Lullaby is its inconsistency. It never fully establishes a pace or quality level. Sure it has its share of good songs, but unfortunately they are usually followed up by something on a much lower level. There is never really an extended stretch of quality songs save for the opening section of the record. The result of it is still an above average record, but one where the skip button will need to be put to use a few more times than it should. Still there are plenty of good ideas in place here but I’m not completely convinced the band is up to their full potential. They seem very successful in doing their faster paced, heavy, riff dominating songs. Unfortunately, when things slow down and they try to create more atmospheric pieces things end up sounding bland, forced, and just plain boring. Hopefully on the next record they will either keep up the intensity throughout or improve upon their softer tunes. As previously stated there is plenty of potential and there are great ideas in place here. While the group is not completely capitalizing or using them to the fullest extent, they still manage to create a fairly enjoyable record. A Static Lullaby.

A Static Lullaby might not have started their career in a particularly unusual manner - high school friends start jamming together, form band, quickly start playing shows - but when things rapidly began to gather pace for them in terms of their recorded output - their Withered EP, a home- produced affair, sold six thousand copied - they quickly found themselves in territory that was usually unchartered for bands of their age. Releasing their first record in 2002 - the furious . And Don’t Forget to Breathe - allowed them the opportunity to tour extensively with the likes of AFI and My Chemical Romance, and once they finally got back off of the road, a contract with Columbia Records was waiting for them. The one album that they did release on that imprint, Faso Latido, was met pretty tamely by the critics, but the additional exposure that a major label budget afforded the band meant that they were suddenly bringing their brutal live show to much bigger crowds; one of their old party tricks was to incongruously throw a cover of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ into the mix at their gigs. Thereafter, they began to fall apart as the lineup seemed to be in constant shuffle mode, eventually disbanding in 2012; by doing so, they deprived the post-hardcore scene of one of its most exciting live propositions.
