Release: Standover - …When A Clenched Fist Is No Longer An Option



New Zealand’s Standover come crashing out of the gates with a name that aptly describes their intimidating and confrontational style of metallic hardcore which is as in your face as it gets.
 
 Loaded with riffs that could powder-keg any pit ready to explode and carrying more than enough low end firepower and pulse pounding rhythms to level any building unfortunate enough to be in their path consider yourself warned.
 
 When a clenched fist is no longer an option, teeth, headbutts, elbows and knees will do. You may still be standing when its all done....if you’re lucky.
