Tweet We Are Standard have actually been around since 2006, when they released their debut album, “3000 V 40000 W” to great success in Spain and Europe. I will admit to not having heard that record (it’s not on Spotify) but I can vouch for the band’s work from then on. For their next album, self-titled and released in 2008, the five-piece from Vizcaya (Basque Country, Spain) sought out Gang of Four guitarist [...]

These guests include veterans like Raekwon, Talib Kweli, Paul Wall, Ras Kass, Camp Lo, and [...]

There are very few bands from the US, let alone the world, who can write the type of gloriously over-the-top, take your breath away rock anthems made popular by world class acts such as Muse, u2, and the often forgotten genius of The Catherine Wheel. Golden State is one of them. This Los Angeles-based band has placed an array of songs on high-profile TV shows, film and commercials although they are not signed to a major label. This begs the questions; who needs a major when you have the songs [...]

Tweet One of the greatest songs of all time has this refrain as its chorus: "If you don't know me by now, you will be never never never know me". Yeah, that's right, I just quoted a Simply fuckin' Red song (I know it's a Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes cover, but Mick Hucknall made it huge). That's how we roll here at El Byb, we do what we want. The above line is in reference to you guys who [...]

It's fairly straight-ahead rock, a little blues, a little Strokes. Here's a small taste, a song featuring [...]
