Static Revolt
The Early Years
Tim Miller moved from Thunder Bay, Ontario, to Ottawa in early 2009 to finish trade school, and pursue musical aspirations. It was here that Miller would meet Avi Agulnik and form the basis for Static Revolt. After jamming only once, Miller would meet Scott Masterson through work, and reconnect with Avi in the summer of 2009. This line-up of Static Revolt would both play, and write songs until the fall, where the band performed under several names. Only shortly before recording their first EP did they settle on the name “Static Revolt” . Armed with a handful of songs, and the money to record, the band was still missing a bass guitarist. They would be joined by Eric Holz, whom Avi met through work, only two weeks before recording their self-titled EP.
Static Revolt and Sinner’s Tongue
The band’s first EP, Static Revolt, was released in early 2010, and featured fan favourites “Down” and “The Grind” The band started playing shows in over a dozen bars across the Ottawa area, and started developing a following. The summer of 2010 was a pivotal time in SR’s early existence when the band gained a spot on the bill opening for Buckcherry. It was the band’s first show outside of Ottawa, and the first in the auditorium atmosphere. The band returned to Ottawa with high hopes, knowing they were on the right path.
With the drive to create, and armed with a bigger budget, the band recorded their follow-up EP Sinner’s Tongue, released in May 2011. The band continued their momentum with an article in the Ottawa Sun, and two appearances on television. 2011 would be a busy year for Static Revolt, as many weeks would see them doing 2-3 practices and a live show, among other band-related endeavours such as photo-shoots, interviews, and the constant writing of new material.
The summer of 2011 would end with the band parting ways with both their manager, Megan Laurence, and their bassist, Eric Holz. Almost immediately thereafter, and after several bassist auditions, Miller would bump into future SR bassist Aaron Gravel while riding the elevator together. Now taking band management into their own hands, Gravel was invited to jam with the band, and played his first show with the band on Oct 4th, 2011. That same month, the band would land an opening gig for The Pretty Reckless. Shortly therafter, thier first full length album, Fables, was released, this time available at HMV outles accross the country and on I-tunes.
Another bassist changeover the summer of 2012, Dylan Radmore was welcomed aboard, bringing with him an inspiring style and gritty backing vocals. This current lineup is presently working on thier fourth album, selling out shows in their area, and gearing up to get their show on the road and do the same elsewhere...
