American Standards Unleash New Single “The Pendulum, The Podium”

Sometimes strong emotions can make you lose focus. That’s not the case for Phoenix, AZ based hardcore band American Standards. Since their inception in 2011, American Standards have faced their share of adversity. After losing their founding guitarist to suicide, then shortly after vocalist Brandon Kellum’s father to cancer, the band have successfully channeled the troubled waters of depression and loss while still incorporating the social commentary and sharp wit that the band has become known for.

The Phoenix hardcore crew have signed to Manic Kat Records and the veteran quartet have now unveiled their brand new single, The Pendulum, The Podium. The potent and emphatic new single is the band’s first new music since 2019’s Phantom Limb.
