We’re very excited to officially announce our fourth and latest signing to the Laissez Faire Club singles label: Westfield, New Jersey’s The Static Jacks.

After introducing them to you via this blog back in May, we’re pleased to be able to bring you their first ever UK release, which will be a double A-sided 7″ single (limited to just 300 copies) featuring the hard and fast, hooky as hell, festival smash in waiting “Into The Sun” and the Cure-channeling “Mercy, Hallelujah”. The record is expected to hit the shelves of all good independent record stores in late November.

Both tracks are taken from their recently released (and to date, critically acclaimed) full length “If You’re Young”, which came out in the States through Fearless Records at the end of August (and should see the light of day in the UK at some point in 2012).

The band are about to embark on a mammoth US tour with The Wombats and The Postelles (if you live in any of these cities, perhaps head on down), and we expect to announce some UK shows very soon indeed. Keep checking back for any such developments. In the meantime, listen to the single in full below, and watch two very different versions of the lead track.
