“Static Dress are reinventing post-hardcore for Gen Z” – VICE “Packed full of righteous anger and drama-filled lyrics” – The FADER “The UK rock scene’s most exciting new band” – Upset “Static Dress are the post-hardcore band from Leeds that make you miss MySpace” – i-D “ One of the most inventive and inspiring acts in the burgeoning new wave of post-hardcore” – Kerrang! Few bands in the alternative scene have had the devastating impact that Static Dress has had over the past year. Voted by Kerrang! readers as the Best New Band of the Year in 2021, their debut project *Prologue…* set the stage for what is one of the UK music scene’s most exciting creative forces: a comic book and official soundtrack that laid the groundwork for the parallel universe they’ve teased with innovative puzzles and lore that have captivated fans. Since their inception, a wave of anticipation has surrounded the idea of a debut album—a chance for the band to realize their own uniquely expansive vision in the fullest possible format. Released independently and featuring 12 tracks, *Rouge Carpet Disaster* is the watershed moment that the new wave of contemporary rock music has been waiting for. Produced by Erik Bickerstaffe of Loathe and written by Static Dress, the album showcases an imagination-capturing sound that transcends emo, screamo, metal, pop, electronic, and so much more—making it one of the most ambitious statements to emerge from the rock genre in decades.
