Double Standard - Live at Storeroom

Saturday 31. May at 21:00 - 23:00

Storeroom, Ta' Xbiex

Double Standard is a punk/HC band based in Malta, with members from four different countries. Their debut full-length "Mt. Focus" (2023) features ten tracks of breakneck d-beat: entirely produced by the band, the record focuses on systemic racism, cosmology, misinformation, anxiety, and the band's favourite actor Patrick Swayze. “Mt. Focus” features Maltese jazz stalwart Carlo Muscat, closing the record with an improvised, intense sax solo on "Earth 2". The record was positively reviewed by renowned international punk magazines Razorcake and Maximum RNR.

A staple on the Maltese music scene since 2018, Double Standard has performed in an eclectic series of venues and events, including the "Rock the South" festival on several occasions. In 2019, the band composed and recorded the theme song for the 15th edition of the Kinemastik Short Film Festival (Malta), also playing live at the festival in 2022. The band also performed at Spazju Kreattiv, presenting an ad-hoc, fully improvised electronic set. In 2020, renowned UK-based magazine “The Wire” included Double Standard in a compilation representing Maltese music and bands.
