Standard

On Tour NOW!!!

About Me

Hailing from St. Louis, MO, Standard is a vintage, frenetic telegram ushering in a new era of earthy, homespun indie rock. Inspired by free-spirited blues/rock acts like The Black Keys & The Raconteurs, Standard is forging a new sound somewhere between the thundering post-grunge of Jack White & the folk-pop of John Lennon. Standard is releasing the new EP Spend Your Money With Style in summer ’07 alongside a 3rd tour of the United States. The album was recorded at famed Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN, where the band shared recording space & amplifiers with The White Stripes & Robert Plant. Standard is built around the headstrong, gritty vocals & lead guitar of Dave Kasten & the thundering, tribal drums of Josiah Munton. Standard shows are a party, a noisy ritual & rock revival for all occasions.************************************************** *******
