Artist History Emerging from the cutting edge of the ever changing musical horizon the controversial new group STANDING IN THE SUN began as a musical experiment and developed into a rave new sound. Eclectic and starkly original their fresh and aggressive style paved the way from club and college circuit to opening for major international recording artists. Their dynamic and independent approach gained the support studios, managers, engineers and executives in the music industry providing the bulk of resources in the recording of the band's self-titled CD. The glut of L.A. bands and radio acts covering the heavy rhythm based parodies prompted STANDING IN THE SUN to take a forward look into the current music scene. Throwing aside the trip-hop beat crazed contortions back dropped in white noise experimentations and transient interludes STANDING IN THE SUN took to the studio developing a bold new sound in the next evolution in modern music. With a freshness and energy so lacking in today's music STANDING IN THE SUN evokes a powerful and emotional performance in what is certain to be some of the strongest recordings of today. Breathing new life into a stagnant music scene bloated by a corporate formula already top heavy with profits this revolutionary new act incorporates their innovative new sound in an emotional and moving series of tracks becoming the fastest rising new music on the web.
