*STANDING SHADOWS TO HOST 7’’ VINYL RELEASE PARTY AT RENOWNED ORIGAMI VINYL RECORD SHOP ON JULY 23RD!*

For Immediate Release - July 7, 2010

“The group could be defined as electro-obscura-shoegazer-rock, while conjuring audio reminders of groups like Silversun Pickups and My Bloody Valentine.” – Antimusic.com

“The Standing Shadows’ genre-intertwining sound comes from using influences from practically all [of their favorite bands]. Rather than coming across as a discontinuous mash-up, the result is a smooth mix of Brit-pop and alternative rock.” – Katie Meschke, UCLA Daily Bruin

New York, NY – LA-based band Standing Shadows is set to host a 7” Vinyl Release Party at the renowned Origami Vinyl Record Shop in Echo Park, CA. The party will celebrate the release of a special edition 7” vinyl, which will feature tracks from the band’s debut full-length album ‘FIVE YEARS OF DARKNESS’. The event will take place on July 23rd, amidst of a series of tour dates that the band will be playing this July and August throughout California. Most recently, Standing Shadows performed for packed audience at one of San Francisco’s premiere music venues, Rockit Room.

Standing Shadows first introduced music listeners to their signature “electro-obscura-shoegazer-rock” sound with the January release of their ‘High Rise’ EP as well the March unveiling of ‘FIVE YEARS OF DARKNESS’. Since then, the band gained further exposure through touring the Southwest region of the US, and having their songs featured on hit television shows such as ‘90210’, ‘The Shield’, ‘Harper’s Island’, and ‘The Cleaner’, and on the popular video game ‘Guitar Hero 5.’ Standing Shadows is definitely a band to keep on your radar this summer as they continue to rise to the top.
