Our Music Is Now on SoundCloud
Jan 23, 2018
Several years ago, when we first started releasing music and building our online presence, SoundCloud wasn't nearly as big as it is today. Instead of publishing our music on SoundCloud, we decided to upload our music to a few other streaming services that were hip and trendy for independent artists at the time, specifically Grooveshark and RadioReddit. In recent years, both of those websites…

You thought we broke up. You thought we fell off the face of the planet. You thought we sold our guitars (that actually almost happened!) and forgot how to make music. Well, everything you’ve heard so far has been rumors and hearsay. Until now, that is. Let’s set the record straight.

We're long overdue for an update, so let's catch up. Long story short, we haven't done much during the past few weeks because I've been incredibly busy moving into a new house here in Memphis. I'm starting to get settled, but I still have one more important thing to do: set up our new practice/recording space. Tyler is coming over this weekend, and we're going to paint the walls and finish…

Hey everyone, we have a very important announcement: We recently learned that Ashton is no longer interested in playing drums for American Music Standard anymore. He will be leaving the band very shortly to pursue other musical interests and non-musical activities. We'd like to take a moment to thank him for all his hard work.
