About
Stander is a Chicago-based heavy trio that blends post-metal, shoegaze, and post-rock into fluid, dynamic compositions. Since releasing their first demo in 2014, the band has evolved from the gloomy, instrumental rock found on 'The Slow Bark' (2019) and 'Vulnerable' (2022) to more vocal-centric territory. Their 2025 album 'Collapsing,' released via The Garrote, features lead vocals by guitarist Mike Boyd and collaborations with artists such as Dylan Walker (Full of Hell), Erin Dawson (Genital Shame), and Mathieu Ball (BIG|BRAVE). Often compared to Pelican and Russian Circles, Stander is a fixture in the Midwest underground scene, frequently performing at venues like Chicago's Empty Bottle and Milwaukee's Cactus Club.
