A few days of static..

65daysofstatic to be exact. This is by no means a new band but I'm sure there are plenty of people that haven't listened to these guys.  All my other posts have focused on the more melodic side of alternative but I wanted to bring some noise to the party.  These guys are a mix between Explosions in the Sky and At The Drivei-In with a twist of Clint Mansell for good measure.  If you're looking for music to get you pumped during a workout or a good run look no further.  Also, great for any trailer you might want to make for a movie. Here are a few tracks that I highly recommend downloading from iTunes or wherever you get your music.

"Radio Protector" is probably one of their most epic songs.  I'm surprised I haven't heard it in a movie trailer yet. This song comes from their album One Time For All Time released in 2006.

 

This is one of the songs that really gets you fired up. These guys have no vocals which make their songs even more fun to listen to in my opinion. Sometimes you just want to hear the guitars and the drums pound.  "Crash Tactics" from We Were Explding Anyways by 65daysofstatic.  This might be their most bleep bloopy song. That's my own wording for electronic synthy vibe. Yes, I'm very technical folks.

Here's another epic track from these guys. This reminds me of something I might see Clint Mansell compose for a film.  Definitely a bit more raw than Mansell's compositions but still in the same ballpark.  "Don't Go Down to Sorrow" from The Destruction Of Small Ideas.

 
Here's "Death Is The Road to Awe" from Clint Mansell's score of The Fountain.  Take out the strings and put in guitars. You can see what I'm talking about with the similarity to 65daysofstatic.  Isn't music amazing how it can emotionally move you with no spoken words?
