Bio: With the release of their independently produced and recorded EP Patience, Standard Of Living has come blazing out of the Buffalo, NY rock scene and been hailed as one of the best new bands in the Northeast. Bringing their own brand of sweeping melodies and infectious hooks to the forefront, The Buffalo News has named the band as single-handedly breathing new life into pop rock genre. They exclaim: "With a refined, piano-driven sound comparable to an East Coast Something Corporate, Standard of Living makes the kind of music that you can adore… Every song is addictive, and every word from Josh Rabenold's lips is perfectly written and sung. If you see any bands in the coming year, make sure Standard of Living is one of them."



Born in 2004 in a basement along the shores of Lake Erie, Standard Of Living's members have created and nurtured an impressive dynamic. Singer/songwriter Josh Rabenold totes an amazingly powerful voice and a writing style that speaks volumes about modern life within wonderfully melodic verses. On top of his vocal exclamation, Clayton Cobb, Ken Stiver, Dan Reedy and Mike Lindstrom construct contagious melodies with a wide palette of pop sounds and soaring vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Beach Boys.



The band is currently working on material for their forthcoming album with Multi-Platinum Producer Billy Mann (Pink, Joss Stone, Teddy Geiger, Sting) while touring extensively opening for bands like Hanson, The Click 5, Teddy Geiger and Ben Jelen.
