Formed and based in Chicago early in 1996 by Artie Carlson and Andrew Spencer, with the later addition of bassist Steve Hahn, HYDRO STATIC UNION has finally achieved the perfect lineup, found their sound and have moved to the cutting edge of the music world.

The three bandmates of HYDRO STATIC UNION have been long time friends. They have been able to maintain a strong friendship and an equally strong dedication to their music/business relationship. HYDRO STATIC UNION blends the contrasting musical and personal backgrounds of the three members. The result is a truly interesting and unique blend of aggressive, tripnotic, millineumistic sound that their fans have come to expect - the unexpected.

The strength of this power trios music lies in the fusion of intensely effected, innovative guitar and vocal melodies backed by a tight rhythm section. The fat and funky killer grooves, topped off with sweet loops and digital samples creates an effect that grabs the listener by the throat and by the feet . This experimental mix builds to climax, then rebuilds tension for the next explosion. Meanwhile, the clean and cutting lyrics of front man Spencer paint a reflective picture of issues, angst, and personalities of the 2000's and beyond. The extreme passion of HYDRO STATIC UNION's musical commitment and the infectious nature of their music is highlighted in live performance. Color, movement, and sound combine to produce the unforgettable HYDRO STATIC UNION experience.

The enthusiasm of this 3 piece band is highlighted by commitment to establish themselves as a powerful presence in the world of music. As a result, a major focus of the band is to produce the highest quality of live performances.
Musically, HYDRO STATIC UNION strives to carve out it's own distinctive sound
that their fans will enjoy and will not forget.

The members of HYDRO STATIC UNION realize that it is a long road to success in todays music industry, and believe that in practicing good business with a marketable product, they do hold the keys to progression. A forward looking approach to media resources has resulted in the production of various demo tapes, two compact discs, computer generated graphic logo's and promotional materials, and live radio and disc airplay. With a new web site includeing free Mp3 downloads and relentless promotion, HYDRO STATIC UNION's images and sounds will be spread around the globe.
