American Standards INTERVIEW!! HELL YEAH!

1. Please tell us about the about the band and its members. 

We got Corey on guitar, Steven on Bass, Mitchell on Drums, and Brandon on Vocals.

2. Who does the majority of the writing? Is it a group thing or does someone handle the writing duties?

 It’s usually a group effort. We all dabble in guitar and come to practice with a riff and then we all bounce ideas off each other.


3. Where is the band based out of ? Where did you want to the band to end up? What was the dream city to have as your home base once you got out of your scene?

Phoenix Arizona. I don’t think we’d be the same band if we lived anywhere else.



4. What is your genre? What bands do you use to explain  to people what you sound like?

Hardcore/Punk/Metal. For lack of a better explanation, whenever someone asks us what we sound like, we usually just tell people we sound like Metallica. 


5. Can we buy anything from you Cd's shirts etc and where can we buy them?

Cd’s, koozies, shirts, hats, vinyl records and more! All on our bandcamp and Facebook!


6. Do you have studio time lined up anything new coming soon?

Nothing set in stone as of yet, but we do have some stuff planned on the horizon.



7. Have you ever been on tour? If so where and with who?

Too many places to name. And too many names to mention. #StayWild 



8. What is your favorite band? Who are the bands who influenced you?

Slipknot, Tom Waits, System of a Down,  Bjork, Pantera, and Converge to name a few.


9. Do you have a website? And do I have to verify that I am 18 to enter it? 

We welcome any and all ages from 2 to 92! We’re on all social media as well as Apple Music, Spotify, Rhapsody, Friendster, MySpace, Live Journal, the Twitters, Pandora and many many more! Just google us!!!



10. What about your music do you want people to remember? What is the quality you want to hit people when they hit play?

I’d like people to remember that we’re just regular dudes with regular boring 9 to 5 jobs that take up the time between waking up and playing a show. Anyone can do it, even you! 


11. Name a person who is integral to your band that nobody knows about , what person drives your band like they are part of the band? Who is the extra member ?

Mike Hyde, and Nathan Unterreiner. 


12. Tell nerds like me tell us about your live rig and equipment.

Corey runs a 6505 straight into his Marshall 1960B cab filled with vintage 30’s and green backs in an X formation. Right now he’s playing a stock Charvelle we found at a pawn shop.

Steven has an Orange Tiny terror that he runs through his Acoustic 8x10. Only peddles he uses besides a tuner is a Sans Amp, and a Rat distortion. Live he’ll use his Fender Aerodyne. When recording he’ll mix it up between that and his late 80’s Gibson Grabber.


13.What is your musical guilty pleasure that you are ashamed of?

When you get to our age, we’re not ashamed of anything anymore. I guess a “guilty pleasure” could be considered how much Steven loves Rod Stewart, Corey loves Phill Collins, Brandon loves Tom Waits, and Mitch loves Bjork. 

14.If you could custom build a band who would be the members?

Rod Stewart, Phill Collins, Tom Waits, and Bjork!



15.Message to the fans? What is it?

Keep on rockin’ in the free world!!!
