Pixelated One & Zeros is the Staggering Statistics second release. The Staggering Statistics began as a three-piece rock band from Cincinnati, OH. Bassist John Curley was a founding member of the Afghan Whigs and owns Cincinnati’s Ultrasuede recording studio. Austin Brown is a prolific songwriter and musician who played in dozens of bands from Houston to Seattle before arriving in Cincinnati and joining dozens more, many at the same time. Joe and Austin had worked together at Kaldi’s on Main in the late 1990’s. During that time, they composed and recorded music in Joe’s downtown apartment.
The band were 2005’s Best New Artist at the recent CEA (Cincinnati’s Entertainments Awards).
Frontman Austin Brown’s laconic voice and tales of the hard life hit even harder when paired with this Cincy trio’s bluesy, sinuous raucous, marked by a rhythm section that could anchor a battleship. The melodic shagginess of early Pavement often comes to mind, yet SS possess a genuinely dark undercurrent that’s entirely their own.

This is the soundtrack to bloody knuckles. This is indie-punk. These are the hearts and souls of four young men from New York. This is “A PASSING FEELING”, or “How to Never Sleep Ever”. A PASSING FEELING formed in May of 2005. One part the bare-bones youthfulness of early Guided By Voices and the Thermals, another the floor-punching intensity of their post-punk contemporaries, and half straight whiskey, A PASSING FEELING is the east coast’s answer to whatever shit the west coast is talking. The game plan? Put out records, hit the road, and stay hungry. The dress code for any A PASSING FEELING show? Simply this, as always: bring the phlegm, kill the lights and there will be blood, sweat and booze to go around.
