The Story So Far

About

Bursting onto the scene with an explosive blend of pop-punk angst and melodic sensitivity, The Story So Far redefined the sound of a generation grappling with early adulthood's disillusionments. Formed in Walnut Creek, California, the band distills classic pop-punk energy—think Blink-182 and New Found Glory—with a raw emotional honesty that resonated profoundly. Their signature sound incorporates aggressive drumming, soaring guitar riffs, and Parker Cannon's uniquely emotive vocal delivery, creating a cathartic sonic experience. The band's 2013 breakthrough album, *Under Soil and Dirt*, catapulted them into the Warped Tour stratosphere and established their fervent fanbase. Subsequent releases like *What You Don’t See* and the self-titled *The Story So Far* solidified their position as frontrunners in the pop-punk revival. Eschewing saccharine sweetness, TSSF's lyrics delve into themes of heartbreak, alienation, and the struggle for identity, connecting with listeners on a deeply personal level. Though lineup changes have occurred, the band’s core sound and message remain consistent. While a proper follow up to their 2018 EP, *Proper Dose* hasn't been released, recent singles like "Big Blind" suggest a willingness to evolve while staying true to their roots. The Story So Far continues to shape the landscape of modern pop-punk, solidifying their legacy as more than just a band, but a soundtrack to a pivotal stage of life.
