zBTFD Records is happy to welcome one of Ontario's hardest working bands, STATIC SAFARI to our family! 

Static Safari’s capabilities stretch as far as the eye can see. This three piece jungle-punk band from Brantford, Ontario, takes inspirational elements from classic genres such as surf-rock and reggae all the way to the more eclectic psychedelic, prog and new wave, experimenting with anything and everything…as long as it’s fast. 

‘LAZIEST, MOST USELESS’, Static’s debut album, is a demonstration of their tapestry of genre blending while all together keeping their original spin. It is a soul-bearing look into internal hardship and confusion most of their listeners can relate to. 

Don’t forget to feed Gordie!

Take home notes: FULL ALBUM STREAM + PRE-ORDER FOR PHYSICALS on Jan 24th -- mark your calendars!!!

Welcome home, Static Safari!!
