VIDEODROME: Industry Standard – Blair

Powerful social commentary, ranging from the monotony of social expectation to environmental collapse, sucks you into a pumping artery then spits you out into a pool of exhausted self-reflection‘.

INDUSTRY STANDARD are:  Gabriella Gonzalez – Vocals  Phillip Stakem – Guitar Oliver Jackson – Bass .Tim Sketchley- Drums.A London based four piece, noted for being as unyielding in their songwriting as they are in their visual narrative. Warped, discordant riffs merge with disco-infused rhythms. Immersive storytelling and DIY theatrics form an uncanny world, where the seemingly comedic surface gives way to something intimate and raw. Part punk show, part relentless carnival, their Cuban American figurehead Gaby displays the fearless charisma of an unhinged gameshow host, leading an all-engrossing explosion of sound and imagery over a backdrop of self-professed ‘Wonky Tonk Swamp Pop™’

The narrative is a plea for action. Clashing verses, immersive sound effects and a gruelling mantra – ‘Is she gonna make it?’
