65daysofstatic的音乐被看作是新一代post rock的典范,甚至有人说他们是Mogwai和Aphex Twin的混合体。65daysofstatic非常擅长以一种逻辑、程式化以及数学概念的方式来编辑那些令歌迷无法喘息的厚重吉他音墙,高压下的电子碎拍加上采样所营造出的苍白冰冷机械化的冰冷世界。最令人刺激的是,在这种充充斥着绝望的氛围中,突兀呈现的他们简直就是原始动物,带来的是最纯粹的直觉与感触。同时,后摇一贯反差极大的旋律线,缓慢地于狂暴之间以最情绪化的狂野拉扯彼此,恐怖的是这种试图令人眩晕、持枪疯狂扫射的高压姿态,简直有如以几何倍数增长的细菌病毒散播传染,让每一个听到他们音乐的人燃烧起来。
JoeFro,Paul Wolinski和Iain Armstron受邀请为一部电影做配乐,这部名为65daysofstatic的电影讲述了全球电子通讯因为不明原因全面停摆65天,给地球带来了重大灾难和毁灭.遗憾的是,我们今天无法看到这部电影,因为种种原因,影片最终没有发行.或许是为了报复电影制作方放了他们的鸽子,上面提到的三个英国年轻人把65daysofstatic这个电影名拿来用做了他们乐队的名称,并由此展开了一段音乐历程.

这群来自英国的年轻人最常出没的演出场合,并不是作为暖场嘉宾出席于某只大牌后摇乐队的现场,而是经常在一些前卫的舞厅于一些DJ为伍.65daysofstatic的专集由一家英国年轻的独立场牌Monotreme负责发行.而这群疯狂的年轻人称自己的音乐是:dust-punk!毫不在乎跨越种种类型的藩篱,一只过分彪悍的乐队,难道这不就是不管是那个时代,人们殷切期盼的声音么?
