Riff ready Shwa-rockers continue to their diesel-powered rock with the new track, “Black Hill Creek”. The duo are all fired up on this - its what we called back in the day, a head-banger.

The Standstills make rock with spirit. Spiritually is deep at their core and they have followed that path to one of the scared sites of rock 'n roll, Joshua Tree National Park, for the video for their latest single, "Wild" from their upcoming album 'Badlands'. The director is Jeff Scheven of Black Fawn Films.
Guitarist Jonathan Fox says the idea for the location came from drummer Renee Couture and says intriguingly they are working on a novel which will explain the video and its connection to The Pyramid Code.
WHUT? as the kids also say. The video is trailer for a book?
Well I can't get my head around that without help. Maybe the answer as some of the kids say is in the desert.

No fear, none nothing just Peaches and Joan Jett sparks, we used to call it glam rock when it was just pub rock in sequinned jeans - the denim comes off and its coffee and someone else's shirt and its just as glam, just as rock, just as thrashy and just so fresh.
