History
Established in 1998, Few Left Standing began as a hardcore punk ensemble. Prior to forming this group, members were part of Broken, which dissolved shortly after its inception. Subsequently, Lancaster and Keegin recruited Aaron Winters to play bass, leading Stafford to take on vocal duties.
The band secured a deal with Takehold Records in 1999 and recorded their first album, Regeneration of Self, under the production guidance of Bruce Fitzhugh from Living Sacrifice.
In 2000, they independently released an EP through Tree of Woe and participated in the "40 Days of Disaster" tour, performing with Underoath, Narcissus, and Tantrum of the Muse.
Their sophomore album, Wormwood, was laid down in 2001 and issued by Takehold. The group disbanded in 2002. After Tooth & Nail Records acquired Takehold in 2003, Few Left Standing’s discography was re-released under Solid State Records, a division of Tooth & Nail.
On December 3, 2019, the band announced their reunion to appear at Furnace Fest scheduled for September 2020.
