Low Standards, High Fives

Low Standards, High Fives are both a band and a family, the kind that likes guitars. They have three of them. Having grown up in the DIY scene in Turin (Italy) and its province, they organised concerts and played in many bands before settling on their current line-up about ten years ago. Within the sound of Low Standards, High Fives, you can find traces of past experiences, songs and other influences that shaped their identity as people, before becoming musicians. Nevertheless, Low Standards, High Fives often struggle to answer the question: what kind of music do you make?
Perhaps the most apt definition, so far, has been provided by one of their brothers, who called it "sentimental music". Music that is built on feelings, sometimes at odds with each other, and which in turn strive to generate feelings.

They have produced several EPs and an album, released in 2017 by the UK-based Engineer Records. They have collaborated with Garrett Klahn (Texas is The Reason) and Jonah Matranga (Far) and shared the stage with Ratboys, Foxing, Algiers, Comeback Kid, Fine Before You Came, Any Other, Dowsing and many others.

For the past few months, they have been busy recording their new album, Everything Ends, which they produced with Manuel Volpe and will be released by Kosmica Dischi on 28/03/2025.
