American Standards are the definition of “in your face.” Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, these masters of mayhem are wonderfully hard to get a hold of, boasting a dizzying sound that is equal parts furious and fascinating; irregularity reigns supreme, restraint is in short supply, and quality headbanging is guaranteed. For real—if you’ve had a long day and are looking to punch some holes in your wall, this foursome’s out of control catalogue should be your go-to soundtrack.
Next month, the group will be hitting the road alongside fast-rising hardcore quintet Coma Prevail, and UTG wants to put you and one of your friends front and center for what is sure to be a reckless run of shows. All you need to do is:
• Follow UTG on Twitter: @UTGReview
• Follow both bands on Twitter: @AmericanStndrds and @ComaPrevail
• Tweet the link to this article tagging UTG, American Standards, and Coma Prevail with the hashtag #AmericanComaContest
One lucky winner will be chosen a week from today (April 27) and walk away with two free tickets to any one of the band’s upcoming gigs, along with an equally awesome merch package. The clock is ticking—get after it!
