Staticlone formed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2021, assembled primarily by George Hirsch and Dave Walling of Blacklisted alongside Jeff Ziga of Affirmative Action Jackson and Armalite. The band plays crust-inflected hardcore punk with d-beat rhythms, heavy metal riffing, and the kind of earned severity associated with acts like Disfear and Wolfbrigade. After releasing a 2021 demo, Staticlone signed to Relapse Records and issued their debut full-length Better Living Through Static Vision in March 2025. The project channels the experience of musicians who spent decades in hardcore into a deliberate and uncompromising record.
