STAND FAST is a Posthardcore band from Münster, Germany which does not want to refuse their love to bands like Hot Water Music, Rise Against, Alexisonfire or Thrice. Founded in early 2007 as a side project it was very soon obvious that everyone involved was eager to work on passionate and energetic ideas to enlarge his own musical perception.

The five piece combines Newschool-Hardcore elements with captivating melodies and passionate choruses. Intensive lyrics are sung and screamed by a good deal of vocal chords, underlined by emotional guitar parts or hammering rythm sections.

The energy spreading on their shows (e.g. with The Casting Out, A Wilhelm Scream, Strung Out, Polar Bear Club, etc.) was captured on their first full length released in September 2009 on Fear the Crowd Records entitled „Know yourself in things you hate“.

Between over 60 shows and two tours with A New Day (UK) and Say Hello to the Angels (USA) during the past two years the band was eager in writing new songs and in September 2010 their 6-Song-EP "Challenges" was released.

This band is aching to conquer Europes stages with their intense, energetic and ferocious live set.
