The Standards are Neil (Vocals, Guitar) Mark (Vocals, Bass) Scott (Vocals, Drums) - all singing, all playing, all writing. For us to try to describe our {or any} music would be like dancing to architecture so you decide. We have no aspirations to be indie or underground, we're a pop/alternative group who writes instantly catchy tunes that you can't help whistling along to after one earful, think that's a description actually isn't it? We like to have fun at our shows. Come see for yourself... Here's some acts we've played with... The Wombats, The Cribs, Friendly Fires, Sparks, The Draytones, 747's and The Rakes to name a few.

We won the final of the AKG unsigned heroes comp whittled down from 800 bands to just 3 at KOKO in June 07, twas a splendid night. It saw us play the Isle of Wight Festival 07 and go into the studio with top producer Jez Coad.

Check out two of our videos by clicking on the TV icon near songs 'Needless to Say' & 'The Great Society'. We hope you like 'em.
