The Standstills will be performing in Barrie at Sadlon Arena on Nov. 26.
Described as an "exciting, guitar-driven two-piece" from Oshawa, the "outlaw rock 'n' roll band" is releasing their new album, Shockwave, via MNRK Music Group on Nov. 4.
Their recent single, Motherlode, features the legendary Eagles of Death Metal and the duo is hitting the road with Three Days Grace throughout November, which will bring them to Barrie.
Over their career, The Standstills — which is comprised of husband-and-wife duo Jonny Fox (vocals/guitar) and Renée Couture (drums/vocals) — have built a "reputation for transcendent anthem-making with an earnestly steadfast formula, gigantic hooks, unapologetically hypnotic grooves, and infectious unabashedly cool riffs, which can be heard in force on Shockwave."
Produced by Neil Sanderson from Three Days Grace and mixed by two-time Grammy Award winner Howard Benson, who has worked with My Chemical Romance, Santana, Daughtry, the album blends immediately accessible choruses with magnetic layers of depth revealed in repeated listens.
The Standstills' signature sound first emerged on a pair of indie releases. From the Devil’s Porch, their 2015 EP, produced three successful Active Rock singles, resulting in a 2016 win for Best New Group or Solo Artist: Mainstream Rock at the Canadian Radio Music Awards, while their 2019 debut album, Badlands, produced the fastest charting Canadian single in the MNRK label’s history.
