Short Summary
With shades of Kings of Leon, Pearl Jam, and Foo Fighters, The Central Standard were immediately taken on by acclaimed multi gold producer, Sean O'Keefe, who produced albums for bands like Fall Out Boy, Plain White T's and Company of Thieves. Only six months in, The Central Standard is heading into the studio to record their debut album with the hopes of reaching a larger audience and gaining traction on a local and national basis.
What We Need & What You Get
We are setting our fundraising goal at $16,000 with a stretch goal of $20,000
The Break Down:
Studio time: $3,000
Producer, mixing: $12,000

We want to get our fans involved in the beginnings of The Central Standard. If we do not reach our goal, all the funds will go towards the actual recording process of our music. Our confidence in our music quality will let this fundraiser be successful whether it's through Indiegogo or secondary means.
The Impact
Growing up, we were motivated by music from our grandparents, parents and older siblings generations. From Jazz all the way to Grunge we encompass many different influences individually and as a band. Our music is a culmination of all these influences that really resonate with us as a band and believe it can resonate with an audience across the world. Everyone has a band that constantly brings them joy, an emotional attachment, or a means of motivation. There is still a large market for straight edge rock with a contemporary feel. With your help we can bring our twangy contemporary rock sound to the world!
Risks & Challenges
While any art is hard to break into with continued success, music will always be in demand. We need this opportunity to turn our original music into a product that will help us grow as a band. Even though we may not gain immediate recognition or attention for our music, we know that putting everything we have as musicians into the album is most important, which we hope will resonate with our fans. Making a great product will help us open new doors and utilize the resources we need to create an emotional attachment in peoples lives.
