Stand Still

Stand Still are a brand new melodic hardcore band from Long Island, NY. Their debut EP “A Practice In Patience” came out in June and pretty much dominated my music listening experiences for much of this past summer. With the Long Island hardcore scene currently pretty rich in heavier sounding bands it is pretty refreshing to see bands like Stand Still, Koyo, Somerset Thrower, Rule Them All, Victory Garden and others offer up different flavors of hardcore. Mixed bills and diversifying styles often drive even more creativity and in turn a stronger overall scene. Good things are currently under way out on Long Island and the band we now present to you… Stand Still is a big part of that. We caught up with their singer Gerry, guitarist Bryan and bass player Mat just before their September 19th show at Shakers Pub in Oakdale, NY. Steve on guitar, and Andre on drums rounds out the Stand Still lineup.
