Static Dress trolled the Outbreak festival in Manchester over the weekend:

”Oh my God. No fucking way!” a man screams in a video, as blurred letters appear on the screen. If you squint, you might think that they’re about to come into focus reading Title Fight — the legendary hardcore band from Kingston, Pennsylvania that have been been on hiatus since 2018. If you listen, you can also make out the beginning of the “Safe In Your Skin” from 2011’s Shed. Could it be? Could their indefinite break be over? Is God real?

Well, no. Turns out it was a stunt pulled by Leeds hardcore group Static Dress. The four-piece played a secret set and trolled the crowd with something that was too good to be true. After several seconds the blurred words come into focus as Static Dress, which is then followed by the flash of “SORRY.” They then introduced themselves as “Guilt Trip” and began their set with “Nostalgia Kills,” off their recent album Injury Episode, which dropped this past May via Sumerian Records. People were not pleased and proceeded to leave the crowd, some shaking their heads in disappointment.
