Standards

standards is a guitar and drum duo from Long Beach, California. The self-proclaimed
“Fruit Rock” band has earned a worldwide fanbase for their technical, math rock
inspired songwriting and amusing online presence. 2024 saw the band release their
third studio album Fruit Galaxy which was called “math rock album of the year” by
Mathcore Index and “out-of-this-world” by Guitar World magazine. Alongside the new
album came a reunion of guitarist/lead songwriter Marcos Mena and longtime studio
drummer Forrest Rice (Covet). Having shared the stage with the likes of Plini, Elephant
Gym and Tiny Moving Parts, the band will now embark on their own headline tour
alongside math rock band Floral in 2025 as their next step in sharing their energetic and
melodically infectious instrumental music with the world.
