STANDSTILL

<<< PREVIOUS With the majority of our songs carried over from MG and few new ones, on December 12th 1998 we played our first show at SFX Skate Park in Pembroke Pines, Fl with The Agency, Bum Ruckus, and United82 (RIP). It being our first show there was a pretty good turn out amongst our friends. However, by the end of our set it was obvious the music still needed some honing basically we sucked, but we got better. By February of 1999 we were playing shows every weekend, with bands like: Foolproof, Caught Inside, Milkshed, New Found Glory, Bigwig and more. Everything seemed to be going well, however the circumstances of the time were un-yielding and the band was forced to call it quits. Basically we fought way too much, and so we all went off to play in other bands.

In April of 2000, nearly a year and a half later, the four of us decided to get together and jam just for fun, but this time it was different we were writing good music and really enjoyed playing together. So we decided maybe it was time for one of those nostalgic reunion runs. However, it obvious something was missing a great vocalist. Donny suggested we try out a guy he knew, Justin. After just one practice we knew we had found the right guy. Standstill is reborn. So with the new and improved line-up, we embarked on a rigorous writing mission, proceeded to record the "Music in the First Person" EP and now the saga continues.
