"The Standards, one of the region’s fastest rising indie groups".
—  Cod Satrusayang, CNN
"They’re loud, they’re feisty and judging by the collection of cool songs at their disposal, nicely poised to give the regional indie scene a long overdue shake up."
—  Robin Banks, KOKOAsia.com
“A hit on the indie circuit, these guys are, for many, knights in shining armor come to rescue what’s become a bleak, mundane Thai music scene”
—  Manta Klangboonkrong, The Nation
"They're indie, they're electronic, they're sex and they're rock and roll."
