The Story
Motherlode (feat. Eagles of Death Metal)
The Standstills – 2022
“Motherlode” is a high‑voltage rock anthem that marks a bold moment in The Standstills’ evolution. Straight from their album Shockwave, it’s built around rattling riffs, pulsing grooves, and a swaggering energy that feels equal parts outlaw grit and arena‑ready power.
The collaboration with Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal injects the track with a rawness and playful charisma — those vocals and vibes that nod to both camaraderie and rock‑’n’‑roll heritage.
Behind the Scene
Single: Motherlode by The Standstills Ft. Eagles of Death Metal
Produced by Neil Sanderson (Three Days Grace) and mixed by Grammy‑winner Howard Benson, “Motherlode” feels layered: the chorus hooks hit fast, but there’s depth in the live energy, the textures of guitar, and the tight interplay of the band.
