Started in 2004 out of frustration with the general state of affairs in the south coast steel city of Wollongong.... Scumbag junkies, High unemployment and a population of kids that think the forefathers of hardcore were Atreyu and Avenged sevenfold. Standing Eight Count set the record straight, playing straight up hardcore with real lyrics and no bullshit. Releasing the 'Down For The Count' EP in september '06 to put south coast hardcore back on the map.
