The Standstills release new song ‘Motherlode’
THE STANDSTILLS have released a new song!
Titled Motherlode, the new song is taken from the Canadian outlaw rock ‘n’ roll duo’s upcoming new album Shockwave, which is scheduled to be released in November this year via MNRK Heavy. It features guest appearances from legendary alt rockers EAGLES OF DEATH METAL.
Speaking about the collaboration, guitarist/vocalist Jonny Fox comments, “Renée (drums / vocals) and I spent some time in LA to get inspired to write what would eventually become our new album, Shockwave. If you are a musician and spend any significant time in Los Angeles you will run into the city’s unofficial mayor, Father Badass, Jesse Hughes. We instantly hit it off, loving similar styles of music and sharing the same outlook on creative arts. Before we knew it, we were at a Bar-B-Que at his place that turned into a full-tilt jam session in his living room that lasted a couple days. Unfortunately, we never stopped to record any of it. Fast forward a few months to when we completed Motherlode with Neil Sanderson of THREE DAYS GRACE; the song reminded us of our time out West with Jesse, and it just felt natural to as him and Josh Jove to be a part of it. Without a second’s hesitation, Jesse jumped at it. He is truly one of a kind, not afraid to speak his mind, and we loved that.”

Shockwave was produced by Neil Sanderson from THREE DAYS GRACE and mixed by two-time GRAMMY Award winner Howard Benson (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, SANTANA, DAUGHTRY).
Speaking about the upcoming album, Fox adds, “We’ve completely opened and exposed who we are in a way that we’ve never done before. It felt like the right time. We’ve always gone with our gut instincts. We felt ready to do it. This is the album we’ve been working towards. I hope it connects to people in a deep way, as much as it’s meant to us in the creation and the life experiences that it took to make the album.”
