Masters of standing out from the crowd, Los Angeles math rock duo, standards, craft sounds that are both satisfying to the ear and technically impressive. The pair, Marcos Mena (guitar) and Moises Popa (drums), boast a colorful combination of musical chops and catchy guitar-driven melodies, which have garnered popularity among fans who praise standards for their uniquely danceable brand of complex instrumental rock. Their Audiotree Live performance is as playful as the band's aesthetics, saturated with high energy guitar melodies, powerful drum rhythms, and dreamlike synths. Interviewed by Audiotree Live host Rita Lukea, the band opens up about how they stand out from the crowd, their love of fruit, and teaches us about the wall of life. Check out standards on Audiotree Live!
