Everybody's workin' for the weekend!

About Me

Standard Candle is NOT going to change the world. We know this is blasphemy in the world of band bios... but come on... is every band REALLY "Revolutionary" and "Ground Breaking" and "an island in the sea of mediocrity?" (hmm... that's actually pretty good... we may use that if this bio doesn't work out - "Standard Candle: an island in a sea of mediocrity").
Seriously... Standard Candle is a rock band with a pop twist (we'd say we were a pop band with a rock twist, but we can't dance... a shame, too, 'cause girls really dig synchronized dancing). We write the kind of songs that you might hear on the radio when you're driving through campus on the first day warm enough to roll your windows down. We write the kind of songs that you might hear on your iPod while you're staring out the window of a subway car crawling through downtown. We write songs that you might run, walk, sleep, study, work, eat, fall in love, or break up to.
We just write songs in hopes that you might listen. We write songs because at some point in time, we were moved to tell you about something that happened to us... because maybe it happened to you too... and maybe you feel the same way... and maybe... if you feel the same way... you'll sing along.
