They say "you only live once" and four boys from Huntington
beach California took those words to heart. Static Fiction
formed in late 2011 with the intention to record the
best pop punk album of all time and that's exactly what
they did. Founding member Paul Lapinsky (vox, guitar)
sat down with fellow band mates and said "I think we
should start a band where we try and accomplish everything
we ever wanted in the music industry", Adam responded
with "I want a Ryan Greene recording". Eight months
later were deciding what to name it. Justin Herter (long
time friend of Paul and ripping guitar player) joined
a few weeks after the conversation.
Three months after writing songs, they decided to make
the call, however, how do you get a hold of one of the
biggest producers of all time? Ill tell ya..You drive
to Tempe Arizona, sneak backstage at an Authority Zero
show and beg the lead singer for Ryan Greens number,
so thats exactly what they did (thanks Jason). Ryan
Greene (inspired by their enthusiasm) agreed to take
on the project even though they still had no bass player.
One stipulation.....get a bass player. Paul called long
time friend Ryan Brown (bass) and the rest is history
Working with such musicians as Rob Ramos(strung out),
Mike Herrera (MxPx), Marko DeSantis (Sugarcult) and
Aaron Barrett(reel big fish) has been exciting for them.
Its been nice for them to finally be able to do what
they love and have their heroes support.
They plan on making a dent in music history! So with
out further ado ladies and gentleman....Static Fiction!
