Release

"Casket Party" was the first single released with an accompanying music video on May 23, 2014. [6] [7]

KeepItFast.com wrote of Hungry Hands "What sets Arizona’s American Standards apart from their hardcore contemporaries is their inventiveness and balls to mix things up rather than sticking to a familiar path. At only three tracks long, Hungry Hands is a brief but chaotic bruising of blunt, passionate hardcore." [8]
