Static Dress « Injury Episode »

Static Dress bring their new album, Injury Episode, to Audio in Glasgow on 3 June 2026. The Leeds post-hardcore outfit, led by vocalist Olli Appleyard, builds its songs within a broader narrative universe where visuals, lyrics and concepts extend each release. This approach also shapes the live show: fragmented structures, sharp breaks and the quiet‑loud dynamics inherited from the 2000s—between emo and post‑hardcore—set the framework for a taut, precise performance.

An album‑release show tied to the Sumerian Records launch, the set concentrates on the new material from Injury Episode while reworking earlier tracks. Tight transitions, cutting choruses that explode into controlled detonations, restrained passages that suddenly surge—the concert’s material plays with tension and contrast. Static Dress values atmosphere as much as impact, with a thread of storytelling that underlies each song. The result is a compact, intense format conceived for this release, revealing an aesthetic in motion without losing the project’s structural core.
