Hi-Standard "Screaming Newborn Baby"

FORMAT

Finally available outside of Japan, 2025's "Screaming Newborn Baby" seamlessly introduced new drummer Zax (The Bonez), moving the punk trio forward while honoring late drummer Tsune-chan's legacy. The six tracks on the EP include Hi-Standard's take on Ben E. King's "Stand By Me," The Mr. T Experience's "Book Of Revelation," and tribute to their friend Fat Mike. Formed in 1991, Hi-Standard is arguably the most influential punk band to emerge from Japan, widely credited with pioneering the country's melodic hardcore and skate-punk scenes. 12"ep includes an etched B-side.
