Stand Out was a hardcore punk band born on September 11th of 1999 from the stark nightmare that is the rotting foundations of what used to be suburban southern California (San Bernardino) but as the 20th century came to a close and the 21st century began, became a speed and crack addicted hell hole rife with violent crime and a suffocating economy. They as people and as a band we're a glimpse into the face of the Inland Empire and all the sickness intertwined with hope that entails.
