The band creates a mixture of different elements and styles from electro, synthpop, new wave and post-punk to gothic, ambient and industrial, and that makes STandART attracting to audiences of all the mentioned styles.

_It was the 4th STandART single "Corrosion" (released in November 2006) that gained a wider attention of medias. "Corrosion" gave STandART the first significant chart-success for this alternative style of music as the self-directed video entered the main rotation of Latvian Music Channel and the song reached no.21 in Latvian Airplay charts, spent 6 weeks at no.1 in biggest Latvian alternative radio NABA, and was played and reviewed in several foreign countries. It was the first STandART single that featured several remixes from various electro artists from the UK, Poland and Belgium. Reviewers underline that although STandART’s musical direction is clear, the band creates a very special and unique sound. Without any doubts, STandART had become one of the leading electro acts in Baltic region. ____________________________________________________________
