Artist History The Stand In's formation was finalized in March of 2001. They began playing shows in May and have over 50 shows under their belt. After releasing a few high-selling demos, TSI released a 10 song CD entitled "Analog Decline" in April of 2003. Analog Decline boldly defines The Stand In's ability to merge genres. From the hard rock feel of 'Last Transmission' to the pop punk sound of 'Boot Chick'. From the almost country vibe of 'Five On Snodgrass' to the indie-rock sound of 'The Reason'. The one thing that is clear: there is something for everyone on this CD.

Press Reviews from AKink... (selected as the editor's pick of the month) Now here's a well rounded working class band from New Jersey the home of "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen, if he's the boss then I quit! HaHa I always wanted to say that. If anything The StandIn are a great band with a strong guitar driven style.They seem to have the total package.The rhythms are clean and tight the melodies are catchy they even have some f**king kickass tasteful hard rockin solo's with not a lot of flash and flare. The vocalist is on it,and he puts some real energy and emotion in the songs that remind me a little of AFI or even Bad Religion. From what I heard I like the way its all put together. Its like the singer uses his voice as an instrument. I thinks its safe to say The StandIn, are emotional without being EMO!
