"The world according to The Family Stand is full of funk, love, guitars, rage and introspection. The Family Stand are the powerhouse triple threat of vocalist/keyboard wizard Peter Lord, vocalist multi-instrumentalist V. Jeffrey Smith and soul siren Sandra St. Victor. 

Built around the songwriting and production talents of Smith and Lord and the thermonuclear vocals and lyrics of St. Victor, The Family Stand recombinated elements of rock, folk, soul, free jazz, hiphop, funk and hardcore gospel into a melodic amalgam rooted that’s answered the musical question, What if Stevie Wonder ever sat in with Living Colour, Fishbone and Bad Brains?"
