How do you keep a band going for over 10 years strong? Brandon Kellum is the co-founder and vocalist for metal core band American Standards. We discuss everything from their beginnings on doing everything DIY to getting signed to a label to doing everything DIY again. In addition, we get into release strategies, promoting shows, and getting onto festivals.
