By releasing singles roughly every two years (or slightly less), American Standards are steadily building momentum—and it’s happening again. The band returns with their signature chaos-rock × mathcore × punk sound, following the previously shared tracks “Phantom Limb” and “The Pendulum, The Podium”, now unveiling a brand-new single titled “The Dealer”.
Like its predecessors, “The Dealer” is aimed at fans of Every Time I Die, Converge, and The Chariot. It will appear on the tracklist of Dopamine Dealer, an EP set for exclusive digital release on February 3 via Manic Kat Records.
« We wanted to reinterpret Doris Day’s classic ‘Que Sera, Sera’ (1950) while exploring themes of perseverance amid self-doubt. By infusing raw energy and visceral emotion, the goal is to connect with listeners seeking something deeper through powerful, heavy music. » — Brandon Kellum, American Standards
