Hi-Standard,中文譯名暫定為高標準,日本朋克史上的驕傲,最早簽約于著名朋克廠牌Fat Wreck Chords的亞洲樂隊.樂隊于1991年8月在日本成立,最初的陣容是4個人,有一個單獨的主唱,而后被樂隊開除,于是形成了3人的黃金陣容---主唱兼BASS手Akihiro Nanba(難波章浩),吉他手Ken Yokoyama(橫山健),鼓手Tune(?),直至樂隊停止活動.
1995年5月,NOFX首次赴日本巡演,Hi-Standard擔任暖場樂隊,并吸引住了NOFX主唱Fat Mike的目光,在經(jīng)過簡單接觸后，F(xiàn)at Mike毫不猶豫地將他們簽至自己的Fat Wreck Chords旗下，Hi-Standard也因此登上歐洲的舞臺,受到全世界的廣泛關注。
盡管Hi-Standard已經(jīng)解散8年之久，但他們已經(jīng)成為了眾多朋克樂迷們心中不可替代的傳奇樂隊。
The wickedly original Japanese punk revival band Hi-Standard were formed in 1991 by guitarist/vocalist Ken Yokoyama, bassist/vocalist Akihiro Nanba, and drummer Akira Tsuneoka. The bandmembers made a name for themselves in their native Japan early in 1992 when they released Growing Up on Toy's Factory Records. They were soon brought to the attention of Fat Wreck Chords owner Fat Mike, who licensed the album to his own label for sale in America. A mixture of irreverence and impressive talent, Growing Up was highly lauded by many American reviewers. The band responded by touring heavily in promotion and releasing a string of 7" singles, including one split single with fellow Fat recording artists WIZO.
In the summer of 1997, Hi-Standard released Angry Fist, their second full-length album. Although the band had opted to replace the irreverence of Growing Up with caustic, sarcastic humor, the music remained much the same: friendly, talented, and accessible. Most of 1997 and 1998 was spent touring America with NOFX and Jersey. In early 1999, Hi-Standard returned to Toy's Factory to produce their third album, Making the Road, and two years later, they released the EP Love Is a Battlefield.
