What is FM Static ?Thousand Foot Krutch lead vocalist/guitarist Trevor McNevan developed a side project called FM Static, which includes Thousand Foot Krutch drummer Steve Augustine, plus bassist Justin Smith and guitarist John Bunner. McNevan had written a cache of songs that didn't quite fit the vision of his primary band-in this case, songs that aren't as evangelistic as those typified by Thousand Foot Krutch. So he approached Tooth & Nail with the idea of a side project showcasing his and Augustine's love of melodic power pop and punk rock. The label agreed and set them up with Aaron Sprinkle, who has produced most of Tooth & Nail's and BEC's releases in the last year. The result is FM Static's debut, What Are You Waiting For?, which resembles Relient K, Jimmy Eat World, Everclear, Weezer, Third Eye Blind, and The Ramones (appropriately enough, since McNevan wears a T-shirt of the band in a CD photo). FM Static is less concerned with expressing faith than empathizing with their core audience of teens. The album primarily deals with themes of romantic longing, fun with friends, hurtful relationships, and high school graduation. Ultra-catchy cuts such as "Three Days Later," "Definitely Maybe," and "Donna" (with an infectious chorus of "doo-doo's" akin to Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Kind of Life") are peppered with pop-culture references, quirky rhymes, and instantly likable melodies. "My First Stereo" stands out as an enjoyable tribute to the gift of music and the comfort it brings: "Somethin' tells me I'll never be close to another like you/Helped me through all the things that we all go through."
