While Alaska’s political noise often steals the spotlight, our own Alternative Rock Trio Static Cycle is rocking our State onto center stage. These guys have become one of my favorite current and local bands!  The music video for “Inside This World of Mine” really brings it all together – Shot in the Chena Hot Springs Ice Museum ads to the electrifying vibe and message of the song, which also features Bristol Palin.

Song writer Navarre say: “When I wrote the lyrics to the single ‘Inside This World Of Mine’ I felt like we were going to be conducting the world through that song,”. “It’s about that point in life when you wake up and have great confidence in yourself, where you’ve broken down all the barriers and nothing can stop you. So thematically, it’s about knowing we’ll never give up on the world,” he adds. “The bridge specifically references Alaska’s weather; I’m drawing a parallel to life.  Alaska’s weather ranges from the blistering cold winter to the beautiful sunshine of the summer.  Likewise, life can seem dark and cold at times but always ends up working out or being ‘summer’ just in time.”

As much as I’m a music guy, Static Cycle taps into my love of lyrics – if you can’t write I’m probably not listening. They’ve already been burning up the music scene nationally, touring up to 14 states last year! If you haven’t see their show, don’t miss out – visit their website staticcycle.com to keep yourself up to date.

Their new album “Hydrate” is now available in iTunes!

Rock on! Scott
