EXPERIENCE STANDARD BROADCAST

STANDARD BROADCAST is a Pittsburgh, PA based Indie Rock four-piece, Nathan Jay (piano and vocals), Dave Parrish (bass), Mike Szemanski (guitar), and Dean Henry (drums).

Formed in 2014, Nathan and Leland Shaw (cello) set out to create music with a more dynamic, catchy feel, without the traditional guitar/bass ensemble. After six months of songwriting, the duo went on to add hip-hop driven beats. Add to that Nathan's rhythmic piano skills and rock-inspired vocals, along with Leland's classically trained cello experience, their music developed into an indie flare. After Leland's departure in 2025 the current four-piece outfit has completely locked into to their own unique sound.
