Hardcore Punk
Description:
Over 4 years, 3 albums and several tours, Arizona born American Standards continue to gain both critical and fan acclaim through their intense live show, raw sound and strong DIY work ethic. This chaos-driven noise punk band would be ear candy for any fan of Every Time I Die, Refused, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Snapcase or The Chariot. They've also managed to set themselves apart from the pack with their prominent driving bass lines, frantic drums and creative guitar work that transcends the structures of modern day hardcore. This all lays the foundation for vocalist Brandon Kellum's clever plays on words and insightful lyrics, often rooted heavily in philosophy and socio political themes.
American Standards recently announced their fourth release entitled "Hungry Hands". The album will be a departure from their previous label affiliation with Victory Records. Hungry Hands was recorded at The Residency in Los Angeles, CA and will be the first time that the band has released on three formats including vinyl, CD and cassette. To accompany Hungry Hands will be a series of three connected music videos with a centralized storyline. American Standards posted that Hungry Hands will be their most dynamically experimental album to date and that a tour and new Merch would accompany the release which is scheduled for May 30th, 2014. It will be distributed by the UK label Enjoyment Records.
