About Static Dress

Static Dress are a boundary-pushing post-hardcore group from Leeds.

Founded by Olli Appleyard (a former music photographer/videographer) and former members of the band Galleries, Static Dress began with a unique concept: they built a multimedia universe designed as a cohesive creative brand rather than just a traditional music act. Appleyard briefly wiped his entire photography portfolio to debut the band with their hit single "clean". 

The band quickly garnered a massive cult following for their industrious DIY approach, operating with the high-quality visual sheen of a major label act while remaining strictly independent. Their sound bridges early 2000s post-hardcore with contemporary elements, characterised by raw emotional screamo, atmospheric production, and heavy guitar riffs. Live, the band have performed at festivals such as Download, 2000Trees, Slam Dunk and more, and have earned support slots for metalcore royalty Bring Me The Horizon. 

Their 2022 debut album, Rouge Carpet Disaster, was met with widespread critical acclaim, and was praised for its thematic depth and raw, emotional intensity.
