Proper hard edged rock 'n' roll at 100 miles an hour. Machine gun guitars, vocals that can cut concrete, a rhythm section as tight as constipation and blood will flow. Bad Bob Bates, Brad Dolphin, and Whalebone Pete grab rock, blues and punk by the scruff of the neck, shake it about a bit, slip it a Micky Finn, then throw it on stage at just about any venue that'll have them. You'll never look at a band in the same way again - and might need a bit of help getting home. If you're brave enough their Web site is here.

STAN emerged from the North East music scene before going on to play many gigs in London and around the UK and supported Brian May of Queen at Newcastle City Hall. Following up 2 albums in the nineties, MIDNIGHT ANGEL and BELIEVE, the band has been recording with former Tygers of Pan Tang guitarist Fred Purser over the last 12 months and has produced a collection of 13 new songs for their third album INTO THE SUN.
