WATCH: The Standards Evoke Culture Collide Nostalgia In “Wake Up Dead” Video
By Staff on December 20, 2012
Over the years, you come to terms with the fact that your favorite bands will never love you as much as you love them. However, every once in a while, you find out that they do and it's actually not a sick joke, but a beautiful truth.
So who are we referring to exactly? The English/Thai quintet, The Standards, who performed at this year's Culture Collide back in October and included that footage in their new music video for "Wake Up Dead"; your first taste of their sophomore album due for release in early 2013.
Edited by The Standards' synth/keys wiz, Manasnit Setthawong, this video features live footage of the band's unforgettable sets at TAIX's front lounge, plus low-key moments during their trip to Los Angeles like cruising on the freeway and walking up and down Sunset Blvd.
Based on this track--full of wailing guitar and pounding drums--it's safe to say that this forthcoming record will be just as energetic and killer as The Standards' live performances. Keep tabs on the band via their official website.
