Artist History Stanton formed in fall of 97 in Koping, Sweden. The five friends came together at a houseparty thrown by basist Kristian just after that two local bands, that the members played in separately, had split up; Bare Farmers(experimental powerpop) and Stun(hardcore). So, as so often at parties, they discussed music and the lack of better bands around so they decided to form a new band with focus on the melodies.Two days later they rehearsed four songs written by guitarist Andreas and they had a great time. They all agreed that the songs sounded good enough to record them…

Press Reviews -"...Amazing that these guys aren't signed to a major label."--Daniel Carlsson ,Gothenburg---"Brit-inspired Power Pop from Sweden. Spirited, layered vocals hang just slightly above a catchy, driven, hook-laden chorus. Perfect for sunny days and speed boats." --www.listen.com-- -"...this just says to me that your band has so much balls, and if it's enough to get a song to stick in my head (you have the power of creating those wickedtunes that stick and don't get annoying) then if you don't make it out there pretty soon, it'll be a major shame." Mark Recuena in the UK, a true fan
