[1] After ten years of accumulating success in the 1990s as Canadian alternative rock-band The Age of Electric, the band eventually dissolved to form other musical projects, one of which was Static in Stereo.
Two of the band members, also brothers, Todd and John Kerns teamed up to form Static in Stereo with the goal of creating an album reminiscent of their musical influences growing up in Lanigan, Saskatchewan.
The track "Wrapped in Cellophane" describes the musical and personal metamorphosis that the band members experienced in the months before recording the album.
Musically, the album pays homage to the bands that inspired Static in Stereo, such as The Rolling Stones, The Clash, and Kiss.
Although the music has a gritty, loud, hard rock sound similar to late metal or grunge, it plays a backseat role to the vocals in both primacy and depth.
