Finnish Rockers STANDING CREW unleash latest single, “FADE AWAY,” a High-Octane Rock ‘N’ Roll anthem infused with hard rock influences, with SODEH Records.
Standing Crew has unleashed their latest single, “Fade Away,” a high-octane rock ‘n’ roll anthem infused with hard rock influences. It captures the essence of what makes a rock ‘n’ roll song truly exceptional—delivering a relentless and exhilarating sonic experience.
This release marks the second single featuring Mr. Fire as the lead vocalist, following their previous single, “Burn in Hell (like me),” which was released in January. Following that release, the band underwent some lineup changes once again. Notably, they are thrilled to introduce their new lead guitarist, Mr. D, who is not only a phenomenal guitarist but also a skilled background vocalist. Mr. D shares a longstanding friendship with rhythm guitarist Michael Monteao, having previously played together in a band years ago. For this recording, our drummer J The Circle showcased his versatility by taking on the bass guitar in addition to his drumming, percussion, and keyboard duties. J The Circle also contributed backing vocals and spearheaded the recording, mixing, and mastering processes.
Biography
Standing Crew is an electrifying rock ‘n’ roll band hailing from Finland, embodying the spirit of the 21st century. Infused with the essence of classic rock ‘n’ roll clichés, their music also resonates with the rebellious vibes of 80’s and 90’s punk and hard rock. Throughout the years, the band has experienced a few lineup changes, but has emerged even stronger and more formidable than before. Some members have been entrenched in the rock business since the 1980s, while others joined the journey a bit later. Regardless, their collective experience spans decades.
It started as a two man therapy project, when Jay and TJ went to their rehearsal room trying to spend some time (and drink few beers). They made a few demos, and it started to feel that this stuff should turn to a band. After couple of lineup tryouts, they found 3 other great guys to join in a band. But of course, when everything seemed to go well, there came changes to the lineup and the Covid 19-shutdown. But now the band has developed into 5 Finnish guys trying to maintain Rock’N’Roll clichés, mainly songs that tell us how to get to dealing with the opposite sex, or in their case, how in spite of attempts is reached there off. Grab a beer crank it up and loose yourself into some kick ass 80’s and 90’s style Punk and Hard Rock. You might hear influences from bands like Mötley Crüe, Billy Idol etc.

”It’s a fun blast of punk frivolities, recognisably First Noel, but given a fresh coat of paint. All credit to Standing Crew, who give it their absolute all here and manage to capture both the time of the year but making it thoroughly punk rock too.” –gbhbl.com
“The song is straightforward and energetic street rock, where a distorted electric guitar and a ticking bass keep the pulse on point. The drums thump, but don’t go flat, and the singer hits it with his masculine style. Okay, all of this has already been heard many times, but despite that, Cold Steel hits the button with one hit.” –desibeli.net
