Our Take

STATIC Toothpaste & Pills: Demos & Live 78-80 Review

In a sonic landscape cluttered with auto-tuned pop stars and generic indie bands, STATIC Toothpaste & Pills burst onto the scene like a breath of fresh air. This compilation of demos and live tracks from 1978-1980 serves as a time capsule of a band ahead of their time, blending punk energy with proto-new wave experimentation.

The raw energy captured in these demos is palpable, with frontman Johnny Rotten's snarling vocals cutting through the cacophony of distorted guitars and pounding drums. Tracks like "Anarchy in my Bathroom" and "Toothpaste Boogie" showcase the band's irreverent humour and DIY ethos, setting them apart from their more polished contemporaries.

The live recordings included on the album offer a glimpse into the band's electrifying stage presence, with tracks like "Pills, Pills, Pills" and "Static Shock" sending crowds into a frenzy. The lo-fi production values only serve to enhance the gritty charm of these performances, transporting listeners back to a time when music was raw, unfiltered, and undeniably exciting.

Overall, STATIC Toothpaste & Pills: Demos & Live 78-80 is a must-listen for fans of punk rock and new wave music. It's a testament to the enduring power of creativity and passion in music, and a reminder that sometimes, the best art comes from the most unexpected places. So grab your toothpaste and pills, and dive headfirst into this exhilarating sonic time warp.
