Static Frames

Static Frames is a California-based post-hardcore/emo outfit known for their raw energy and introspective lyricism. Formed in the mid-2010s, the band carved out a niche with their DIY ethos, blending aggressive riffs, melodic urgency, and themes tackling mental health struggles and societal disillusionment. They gained traction in the underground scene through relentless touring and releases like their self-titled album *Static Frames* (2017), the moody *Black Sand* EP (2019), and the visceral *Vivarium EP* (2021). Their sound—a mix of 90s emo revival and modern post-hardcore grit—resonates with fans of acts like Touché Amoré or La Dispute, delivered with unapologetic vulnerability and sweat-soaked live shows.
