FM Static is back with their sophomore release, Critically Ashamed, and they want this album to be the official soundtrack of your summer.

"The best way to describe Critically Ashamed is that we want it to be peoplels summer record," says McNevan. "You know those records in your collection that you associate with vacation from school? The ones you play when you're thinking about warm weather and some good old-fashioned summer fun? For me it was the Steve Miller Band, and the Weezer Blue album - each song has a face. You listen to the music and it takes you back, you remember what you were doing and who you spent time with. Well, we want people to associate this record with the best summer of their lives."

With the quality of Critically Ashamed, you wouldn't have guessed that two of the members of FM Static are also part of the band Thousand Foot Krutch. McNevan and Augustine also produced the album and somehow find time for both endeavors.

Sure to be a fan favorite, the song "Flop Culture" takes a lighthearted jab at celebrities and poignantly states what we?re all thinking - "Remember Axl telling us to have patience / and records sold without any affiliation / when William Hung and music still had no relation / someone tell Janet, bring back the rhythm nation / no gloves, no zipper coats / no more yellow submarines or kokomos / if we could ask Luther Vandross, I bet he?d wonder the same?"

While the album is filled with catchy lyrics, fast beats and even clever sarcasm, it also includes a few slower, introspective songs such as "Tonight" and "Moment of Truth," which happens to be the song that McNevan used to propose to his wife.
