Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

With a big, heart warming sound reminiscent of Primal Sound at their most euphoric, and a madchester bass and drum combination looping away in the background, We Are Standard are deffinitely in a ‘Great State’ (excuse the pun).

A combination of pre-Brit Pop power rock and a choir opens this EP from the Spanish quartet, on ’07:45 (Bring Me Back Home)’. Soon triumphant horns announce the immenence of the upbeat ‘Summer’. ‘Let’s Say I’m In Love’ is rock in its more traditional 60s format, but the usual jaunty guitar set up they once again add some strings and reverb making it massive romance.

We Are Standard take label mates’ Delorean’s dance feel and plug it straight into the heart of their rock’n’roll record collection, a perfect combination within this EP. Oh, did we mention it sounds massive?
