East Bay Punks To Release Sophomore Album On September 9th

San Francisco’s snarling punk rockers Static Thought will release their sophomore album, The Motive For Movement, on September 9th. Teaming up again with producer Dave Tweedie (No Doubt, Flipsyde, In The Trenches), Static Thought deliver a new album full of furious punk rock that channels the sheer energy of The Clash and the raw sound of The Nerve Agents, giving listeners a ‘motive for movement’ straight towards the circle pit.

The Motive For Movement separates Static Thought from the wash of generic punk rock with a original sound that is unlike any band today. By creatively blending different styles of punk and creating skillful songs and great hooks, the band is able to keep the listener interested from beginning to the end.

"We are trying to do our own thing and help start something new and exciting," explains Eric Urbach (guitar/vocals). "On our last album, In The Trenches, nobody talked about the lyrics and what we were trying to say. The Motive For Movement deals with a lot of important topics such as sexism in the punk scene, the distortion of image, pop culture’s continuing role of dumbing down society, the destruction of the middle class, and more. Most importantly though, the album is ultimately about unity, and embracing who we are as a community, and as a people. Until we do that, nothing will change. This album is the motive for a movement in music and in the punk community. We want everybody to be a part of it and help create something special."
