Seismic Standard

Seismic Standard brings an infectious blend of folk warmth and indie rock spirit to Portland's music scene. Their sound is anchored by lush harmonies, a mix of acoustic and electric tones and the rattle of an old-time washboard outfitted with bells and whistles. The trio of Shawn Henderson, Matt McFarland and Giued Hatch craft original songs and creative covers that mosey easily between laid-back grooves and rowdy, foot-stomping fun. Seismic Standard's songwriting blends the sounds of modern folk heroes like Fruitbats, Lumineers and M.Ward with some nostalgic 90s alt-rock edge for a result that is catchy and instantly familiar.
