Our lovely pals, The Standstills, are making a hometown stop at The Oshawa Music Hall April 5 2019. The gig is part of a Spring tour with Monster Truck and the duo will be supporting their new album, “Badlands” which releases Mar 22 via eOne Music. This is all good news for the band and as they have been so good to slowcity.ca, we wish Jonny Fox and Renee Couture well.
The ‘Badlands’ follows on from their 2015 EP, ‘From the Devil’s Porch’ and the single “Orleans” which charted at #4 on Active Rock radio. The Standstills were awarded Best New Rock Group at the Canadian Radio Music Awards and iTunes named it one of the best rock albums of the year. Yay Standstills!! They also just played a sold out show at the Reeperbahn Festival held in Hamburg, Germany. They are touring with Monster Truck and then have a couple of dates after, one with Nickelback.
