About FM Static & "Dear Diary":
Fans of Thousand Foot Krutch have been enjoying the sounds of FM Static, the summery punk-pop side-project, since their 2003 debut. FM Static is composed of TFK singer-songwriter Trevor McNevan and drummer Steve Augustine, who both enjoy the fun, creative advantage of two monikers. Such an advantage they took this time around was creating a concept album with "Dear Diary."

No doubt FM Static listeners will also be enthralled with the spot-on relatable happenings and character confessions of Dear Diary, a project whose special story can only be unlocked as it happens, from song one to song ten. The story begins with a couple of self-explanatorily-titled rock tunes. "Boy Moves to a New Town with Optimistic Outlook" introduces the star (Aero) who hopes to find something or someone worth living for. Coupled with the concept album is the corresponding blog, (aerodeardiary.wordpress.com), from the central figure of the story "Aero." Fans can follow the blog and follow FM Static's twitter account (www.twitter.com/fmstatic) for updates, announcements.
