The Story So Far
Sep 6, 2018
Just a few days after detailing their upcoming album “Proper Dose,” the group The Story So Far debuted a brand new single. Titled “Let It Go,” it’s an airy, almost Blink 182-sounding track that shies away from the upbeat sound as heard on their previously released single “Out Of It.” The full collection is due out on September 21st via Pure Noise Records. Recorded with producer and engineer Sam Pura and mixed by Eric Valentine, The Story So Far spent just as much time reworking the songs on “Proper Dose” as they did writing them.
“Since our last record, we’ve all collectively really gotten into The Beatles,” says The Story So Far band-member Kevin Geyer. “It’s not like we’re trying to sound like The Beatles, but it just gives you a crash course in songwriting and how you can experiment but retain your identity.”
“We were so burnt from touring, and playing the same songs over and over again,” says Parker Cannon, the band’s vocalist and lyricist, “We knew we had to take a step back and collect ourselves. This one, all the way through, I just think it’s leaps and bounds ahead of anything we’ve ever done,” says Cannon.
The Story So Far was formed in Walnut Creek, California, in 2007. The band is made up of Parker Cannon, Kelen Capener, Kevin Geyer, Will Levy and Ryan Torf. They have released 3 studio albums so far; “Under Soil and Dirt” (2011), “What You Don't See” (2013) and “The Story So Far” (2015). The Story So Far have sold over 250,000 albums and have over 100 Million streams..
They just wrapped a tour with Coheed & Cambria and Taking Back Sunday. Next up, they will be heading to Europe with All Get Out and Citizen but they will be back in the U.S. in November to wrap up the year with a full tour.
