California post-hardcore outfit A Static Lullaby are revisiting their roots with a new live in-studio recording of their debut album ‘…And Don’t Forget To Breathe’.
Titled ‘…And Don’t Forget To Breathe (Live)’, the release is set to arrive May 15 via Smartpunk Records. The band recorded the performance at Straitjacket Studios in Fullerton, California, capturing the album in full as part of their 25th anniversary celebration.
Reflecting on the project, the band explained their motivation to reconnect with the material—and their audience.
“Celebrating 25 years as a band, we wanted to go back to the songs that started it all. After playing a few full-album shows, we realized we wanted to share that experience with everyone.”
“If we couldn’t make it to your city to play it for you live, we could at least bring it into your living room and let you share that moment with us.”
“So we filmed it and recorded it live in the studio.”
Beyond nostalgia, the band emphasized that the release represents a renewed chapter rather than a retrospective look back.
“It’s been a while since we were fully active as a band, and we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to our fans and community through the familiar sound of an album that helped shape a post-hardcore/emo scene that has now become very much mainstream.”
“This live album is nostalgic for us, but it also feels new. We’re grown-ass men playing songs we wrote when we were 18, and somehow they still feel fresh and just as relevant today.”
“This isn’t a ‘remember us?’ It’s a ‘we’re back,’ and we’re genuinely excited to share what’s coming next.”
The release aims to recreate the energy of their recent full-album performances while making that experience accessible to fans everywhere.
