Since their inception, UK based quartet Static Dress have been one of the most consistently incendiary names in modern alternative music. Creating visuals, graphic novels (with accompanying soundtracks) and video games that act as narrative connectors for a noirish lore running throughout their musical output, the band have subverted expectations of the traditional band blueprint at every turn, winning multiple awards and heading out on tours with the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Underoath, Knocked Loose and more in the process. Their debut album Rouge Carpet Disaster proved to be a watershed moment for contemporary post-hardcore; a rare debut that was as enticing as it was barbed, helping to ignite a new flame within the genre. Last month, they announced their highly anticipated sophomore album injury episode, due for release on 29th May via Sumerian Records. Ahead of the album’s release next week, the band have unveiled The Magistrate’s Loop; a new free-to-play online psychological horror game based at the heart of the band’s narrative universe. Short and unsettling by design, The Magistrate’s Loop, as with the band’s two previous video games for Game Boy Colour, provides extra context for the intricately woven narrative thread that intertwines with their musical output. Following in the lineage of classic psychological horror games, the experience revolves around menacing atmospheres, revealing a slowly increasing sense of dread by repetition. Where The Magistrate’s Loop diverges from typical psychological horror games as it sits inside the wider fictional universe of Static Dress. The band’s musical output has always been deeply intertwined with a deep web of storytelling and lore. The Magistrate’s Loop is a fresh perspective inside that world, directly playable, and a continuation of the story leading into the opening chapter of the band’s forthcoming new album, injury episode, which is due for release on May 29th 2026. Static Dress has been building a serialised fictional world that continuously evolves and expands across its releases. The Magistrate’s Loop sits within that continuity. Players who are already familiar with the band’s lore will recognise objects, motifs, and a handful of names from the intricate storytelling at the heart of the Static Dress universe. Players who arrive cold will be able to grasp and experience the game in isolation; The Magistrate’s Loop is built to read on its own terms first and foremost, as well as serving as an introductory experience to new fans. The game is available to play for free now on both desktop and mobile on http://staticdress.com/tml. Alongside the release of The Magistrate’s Loop, Static Dress have today unveiled the full tracklist for their forthcoming sophomore album, injury episode, which is due for release next week on the 29th May 2026. Previously hidden from fans under a code that displayed a secret message, the tracklist reveal is the latest teaser ahead of what is one of the most anticipated alternative releases of the year. Full tracklist is below. Static Dress will perform at this weekend’s Slam Dunk Festival South and North, and will celebrate the release of injury episode with a special run of three ‘Panic Room’ shows; a continuation of their fabled performances of the same name early on in their career that played host to raucous, sweat-soaked shows in the most intimate of settings. The band will also provide direct support for Bring Me The Horizon as they perform their debut album Count Your Blessings in full for the first time ever in Manchester. All shows are sold out. Tickets for the band’s US tour supporting Motionless In White are available now at http://staticdress.com. Static Dress live 2026
