The Standing 8 Counts - Greatest Hits (2011)

The Standing 8 Counts might be an unknown band to the average Joe. A handful of people were as enthusiastic about them as I was (one other I started a record label with). They played some gigs with some big acts. They were small print on festival bills. Eventually they called it quits and filled the Zoo in Brisbane for a final show. To me I found them when I was first realising that you don’t need to look further than your local dive to find amazing music. They were just a great band that, like so many others, if they existed on another continent – might’ve had some kind of impact. But then again maybe that’s what makes bands like this even more special.

The Greatest Hits is a compilation of various line-ups of this Brisbane band’s decade long history on CD with an 8 page booklet, pictures and fun facts to amaze your friends.
