Since decamping to New York 5 years ago, Stand has amassed a huge stateside following with praise coming from Rolling Stone and the New York Times among others. The band that the New Yorker hailed as "a determined rock ensemble bringing an energetic live show and an earnest, gritty aesthetic" released their fourth album Travel Light last month.

Stand play Whelan's on Sunday, December 21. Tickets priced €15, are available now from the usual outlets.
