STANDARDS is a two-piece math rock band fronted by guitarist Marcos Mena and featuring drummer Forrest Rice (mem. Covet). The pair boast a fruitful combination of musical chops and catchy guitar-driven melodies which has garnished popularity among fans who laud STANDARDS for their uniquely danceable brand of complex instrumental rock. Their self-described "fruity" melodies and technical musicianship have earned them somewhat of a cult following over the years, owed in part to Mena's proclivity for guitar-based video content. But the band's ebullient songwriting is the true source of their popularity among guitar-music fans, who laud standards for their uniquely danceable brand of complex instrumental rock.

Today we welcome MC Cunningham of the Nashville femmecore four-piece The Dreaded Laramie. The Dreaded Laramie’s debut full-length album, Princess Feedback, which arrives on July 5th via Smartpunk Records. The album heralds a confident shift in attitude which is, in no small part, an outcome of the group’s partnership with Grammy-winning producer Dave Schiffman (PUP, Vampire Weekend, Bayside). In his hands, The Dreaded Laramie push their sound into new territory. We get to go behind the current with MC and follow her journey all the way up to the album release. The talents of the Dreaded Laramie lay waste to a preconceived notion you may have of any specific labels or genres.
