Calgary, Canada (2007 – present)

This is a Standoff is a canadian melodic hardcore band from Calgary, Canada that started in 2007. After the demise of their former band Belvedere, songwriter/guitarist Steve Rawles and drummer Graham Churchill were set on starting a new project and getting back on the road. After joining forces with Forty Cent Fix’s John Meloche, they gathered in Calgary, Canada in 2007 to write songs for their first album, “Be Excited”. The line-up was soon rounded out by Corey Tapp, bassist of One Shot Left.

Following the release of two demo songs on MySpace, the band embarked on a month-long tour in Europe, sharing the stage with Mad Caddies, Action Men, Big D and the Kids Table, and boysetsfire.

Their debut album, “Be Excited”, was released in October 2007, followed by a Canadian tour. Their follow-up album, “Be Disappointed”, was released on March 31st, 2009.

A lot of people would crucify you for saying TIaS is better than Belvedere, but I'd agree. I like both, but the production in TIaS REALLY does Graham's drumming justice. It's incredible.

Se eu curtir mais o Tributo ao Belvedere do que o "Be disapointed", eu vou rir muito só pela ironia do destino.

Who the fuck cares? He was just touring with them (have to say he did it perfect in every single song) Yes, really. Nothing happened to Graham. And by the way, how the hell has TIAS more shouts than Belvedere¿?
