Static Age was released on July 15, 1997 by the Misfits. Originally recorded during 1978, the band was unable to find a record label willing to publish their album leading the band to produce singles instead. Eventually the Static Age recordings were shelved. However, in 1983 after the band’s break-up, singer Glenn Danzig reworked and reissued unreleased songs from the album, and in 1996, along with the Misfits Box Set, a complete Static Age album was released. In 1997, three remaining tracks were mixed and released in a stand-alone version of Static Age that July.
