Led by guitar virtuoso, **Marcos Mena**, standards is a math rock duo all of its
own. The pair boast a fruitful combination of musical chops and catchy guitar-driven
melodies which has garnished popularity among fans who laud standards for their 
uniquely danceable brand of complex instrumental rock. For almost five years, their
instrumental compositions have captivated audiences all over the world as well as
in their hometown of Los Angeles, California.

Hailed as “an interesting, new talent” by Guitar World magazine, standards continue
to defy expectations of what an instrumental rock duo is capable of.

**What others have said about standards**
_“The most upbeat math-rock duo you ever
did hear…has the kind of breezy syncopated grooves that you can’t help but shake
your butt to – and the kind of chops that you can’t help but drop your jaw to.”-**
Music Radar**_

_“There’s something so delightful about the dissonance of a duo that plays intricate
math rock instrumentals presenting their work with adorable cartoons of anthropomorphic
fruit and Cuban bodega color schemes. Let the music speak for itself. Thank your
lucky stars that Mena is using his talent to rip out playful emo-adjacent tunes 
rather than something evil like technical death metal or modern prog. We need him
on our side.”- **Paste Magazine**_

_“If two-piece math-rockers Standards are known for anything, it’s first and foremost
for loving fruit more than any other band on the planet. Oh, and there’s also guitarist
Marcos Mena’s hugely technical yet hook-heavy tap-based playing style”- **Guitar
World**_

_“Los Angeles math rock duo Standards went from nothing to everything seemingly 
overnight. The band achieved fame across the math rock and wider music community
with their string of imaginative live videos, which quickly became viral sensations.”-**
Fecking Bahamas**_

_“Is Marcos Mena the best guitarist in indie rock?”- **48 Hills**_

_“With a touch of the 80s, (“Cherry”) is a joyous outburst from the duo with vibrant
synths, a masterclass in drumming and off the wall guitar playing. It’s an eclectic
mixture of electronic elements and outrageous musical talent, as the band push themselves
to create a level of complex musical brilliance. It’s my new addiction.”- **Backseat
Mafia**_

_“The sonic equivalent of a healthy and refreshing summer salad.”- **Frontrunner
Magazine**_
