The first collaboration between Idan and Ralph was in 2010 and it all started when they met at the studio sessions which resulted in a high quality of sound and performance. Putting together melodic and pleasant notes to the vocals, lyrics that make you think about, together with crisping acoustic guitars, mixing it with some electric guitar harmonic sounds and unexpected rhythmic grooves, created a well finished production which became to be the unique sound and energy of Stand Still. The result was so impressive that they decided to work on a full length album. The sound they created was very unique and mature at the same time. If somebody asks what genre of music is what they've created, they will describe it as Mellow Grunge. After getting lots of great feedbacks from listeners, they decided to start and form a band which will perform live with the songs which have been put together at the studio. The former band members were Emil Harush on bass guitar and Nir Shaked on electric guitar. After working together for some time and shooting a video together, Emil and Nir decided to quit the band. After their departure, in the spring of 2011, Idan started looking for new talented musicians which will add some new inspiration to the music. He contacted Yohai Portal for playing guitars and Yogev Petrov to be the bass player. They were already aware of the band's activity and its successful recording sessions. They decided to join and became official band members of Stand Still. The newly created band appeared to be a very well fitted group, since all the band members have a long musical career behind and great experience. Apparently, the new created band seemed to be a great choice. It all began sounding like a stable and well organized crew, which contributed more maturity to the overall sound of the band. Since then the band continues to record new songs and pursuits to complete the band's first full studio album. In between the band started performing live at some small clubs, and the responses were awesome.
