Old Traditions, New Standards is the debut album from the Washington-based indiepop band Tullycraft. It was produced by Pat Maley. Tracks were recorded at Avast Studios in Seattle and mixed at Yoyo Studios in Olympia. The album was originally released on Harriet Records out of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Perhaps the band's best known song "Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend's Too Stupid To Know About" first appeared on this LP. Robynn Iwata from the band cub provided guest vocals on the song "Josie," and Chris Munford from the band Incredible Force of Junior provided guest vocals on the song "Mental Obsession." The album reached #22 on the CMJ Top 200 chart. The song "Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend's Too Stupid to Know About" was listed as essential listening in Pitchfork Media's 2005 article on Twee Pop entitled "Twee as Fuck."
In 2007 the song "Sweet" was used in a television commercial for the hot-dog chain Wienerschnitzel. The song was licensed without the band's knowledge or permission. The licensing was handled by Darla, the California-based record label that had reissued the album Old Traditions, New Standards. Needless to say, the band was upset when they learned of the commercial, and a dispute between Tullycraft and Darla ensued.
