Trapped In Static (TIS.) made their New York City debut in 2011 as an alternative rock/indie band
featuring singer/guitarist Athan Hilaki (formerly of GAD.) and drummer David Torres. Athan’s
dynamically strong vocals feature a falsetto and a hint of raspy power that are often compared to vocal
legends like Bono, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Eddie Vedder and Scott Stapp. David’s drum rhythms take
their influence from Kings Of Leon, Phoenix and Interpol. In the end of 2018, Amy Stargher was added in
the lineup, a singer/guitarist and percussionist, previously with Jett & The Bombs, with strong vocals and
electric stage presence. The core of the band is completed with Gina Rebelo on bass (formerly of Three
Day Threshold) and influences from Bootsy Collins to John Paul Jones
