Haven’t heard of Static Radio yet? Come on kid, get with it! The melodic hardcore Jerseyites have been busy of late, opening up for Hot Water Music, The Bouncing Souls, and The Loved Ones. They also released their One For The Good Guys EP last year.

Black Numbers, the band’s label, have set up a preview site for the band’s new full-length, An Evening Of Bad Decisions, where you can preview two new tracks. Evening will be released this summer so keep a mental note and pick it up.

After months of tense anticipation, the almighty Hot Water Music returned from a three-year hibernation to blow the capacity crowd away at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on Friday night.
