After spending much of 2023 working on new material, Long Island, NY melodic punk band Stand Still has shared the first fruits of those labors, a new single courtesy of DAZE called "Steps Ascending."
Vocalist Gerry Windus gives the song some added explanation:
These lyrics are inspired by Catholic guilt and the anxiety that can arise from questions left unanswered. Growing up in a religious household often leads to feeling as if everything is supposed to hold a deeper meaning, this track attempts to describe those feelings in the catchiest way possible.
The band last released In A Moment's Notice EP in 2021. They play with Family Dinner this weekend, then head on an East Coast tour in March with House and Home and Spite House on select dates.
