Stand Up And Say No is a mesmerizing band consisting of
just one member, Andre Nault. This artist is an inspiration to men like me. The
30-something father of five is releasing music because it’s in his blood. He is
also fighting against the belief that a person in his position (middle-aged and
raising a family) needs to give up their dreams and conform to a “normal” life.
And while that story is alone is worth this post, Nault has also released some
fantastic music.
Assuming Loyal
is the latest EP from Stand Up And Say No and it is a beauty! This 4 song
extended play contains elegant music that seasoned professionals strive for,
but few rarely attain. Stand Up And Say No accomplishes this feat with ease.
Every song on Assuming Loyal is
spectacular. The EP demands to be played over and over and over again. And
knowing that Andrew Nault creates this magnificent music in his spare time only
adds to the beauty of it.
The first single from the EP (“Can You Feel”) will be
available on July 4th. The video can be witnessed here: http://standupandsayno.com/album/can-you-feel-single
And while “Can You Feel” is a solid song in its own right, it is actually the
weakest song of the EP. That’s only to say that every song on this EP is
amazing.
Take “I Will Find You” for example. I could not stop
listening to this song when I first played the disc. My finger hit the repeat
button many, many times before I could even make it to the next track (“We Only
Have Now”), another phenomenal song. Beautifully crafted lyrics sung by a sophisticated
baritone voice and overlaid with singing guitar work that encases the entire
song in an artful shell, “I Will Find You” is one of the best songs that I’ve
heard this year.
Andre Nault is on his way to indie rock stardom,
especially if Stand Up And Say No continues to make music as wonderful as what
is featured on Assuming Loyal. If you
are seeking out great new music for this summer, check out Stand Up And Say No.
