65daysofstatic is currently Joe Fro, Paul Wolinski, Rob Jones and Simon Wright; Feedle, Iain Armstrong and Gareth Hughes are former members.

The band are primarily instrumental, using beats and glitches alongside crunched guitars and hardcore drums.

65days originally formed, allegedly, to try and write music to fit the unreleased and little known John Carpenter flick Stealth Bomber starring Kurt Russell. Set over "65 Days of Static", a period of time after some unknown global infrastructre and communications breakdown, it also gave 65 their name.

Apparently.
