The Story So Far

Post by Tyler. »

These guys are one of the only newer pop punk bands that I really enjoy. They just released a new song today Clairvoyant
Here are some other songs I recommend:

Love this band, new album is a cracker.

To be fair, there are quite a few newish pop-punk bands that I enjoy, though there is also a lot of shit out there right now.

This band is fucking amazing. So much quality in their music. I also suggest the new Wonder Years record, The Greatest Generation. I'm not a fan of previous Wonder Years material, but the new album is on a level with a ton of records from the mid-2000s that just blew me away at the time. It's going to become a huge, influential album for future generations of pop-punk. There's a ton of music within bands that are somewhat comparable to The Story So Far that is pretty fantastic. By comparable, I mean bands that would tour with TSSF, not bands that necessarily SOUND just like them. I'd suggest a band like Daylight, whose new record sounds very similar to a grunge record of the 90s, or a band like Seahaven, where with every listen, especially on their Ghost EP, you can just feel the emotion in the vocals, in the music. Balance & Composure is pretty big at this point, but they have a great sound that, when I heard them live, I compared them to Brand New, at least in some musical aspects. They have since then taken away that thought from me, but man oh man, they're fucking awesome! It isn't even pop-punk music for the most part (the bands I'm listing), I don't even know what to really call some of the genres sometimes. Just some awesome music happening in that little scene.
And I know I said I needed space,

but I know I can't be comfortable in my own skin.

So when I say I'm scared to be alone, you know I mean it,

I'm just not ready to leave my room.

The Wonder Years are decent. Don't really like the guys voice though. Maybe American's just sound like that but it sounds really forced to get the pop punk whiny sound for me haha. Parker in The Story So Far just sounds natural and passionate which is refreshing. The Greatest Generation is pretty solid though.

I'm pissed off that I didn't see The Story So Far back in January. My work was closed for a month so I was literally sitting at home doing nothing and missed a show in a tiny venue which would've been cool.

That was pretty great too. But I did like What You Don't See more.

I've seen that album cover with the vines coming out of the eyes pop up in my Facebook news feed at least once, haha. I'll try and listen to more of their stuff, so far I like it, but not enough to go out and buy all their albums just yet.
