Standard Fare are a three-piece indie pop/rock band from Sheffield in the U.K. The group drew inspiration from both classic C-86 groups and U.K. guitar rock heroes like Orange Juice, as well as American indie rock bands of the '90s. Their sparse and energetic sound soon drew interest from indie fans, the press, and record labels. The group released its first single, "Dancing," on Thee Sheffield Phonographic Corporation in 2009, then recorded the songs for The Noyelle Beat. The sessions lasted a mere six days, and the results were released by Melodic in the U.K. and Bar/None in the U.S. in March of 2010. ~ Tim Sendra
