About Me

Featuring the beautiful vocals of Heather Frances 'World Is Static' is a band that fits somewhere between alt, rock, metal & gothic. Hailing from County Durham in the north east of England & formed in 2005 by singer/songwriter Heather Frances & guitarist/songwriter Simon Chester. The duo were later joined by Sam Tuckett on bass & Chris Myers on drums. Taking their name from a song on the Static Prevails album by Jimmy Eat World the band play down tuned melodic tunes.
World Is Static were the first band to be played on the test transmission of UK based radio station Ne1fm. The band were also played on the first ever AlterNation show on the same radio station and described as "County Durham's finest gothic rockers".
The song Dying Inside was released by Hollywood-based record label 272 Records on the compilation album 'The Funeral Volume 1'(2007). Borders have picked up our first 2 CD's & are available now from the Gateshead branch.
Highlights of the WiS musical journey so far include playing Newcastle University, Trillians, various UK festivals & supporting signed bands like Fables Last Stand (End Of The Trail Records) & Crud (Full Effect Records).
