Who they are: The Story So Far are one of the best new pop-punk bands around, to say the very least. A young, talented five-piece from California, the band are as good at writing hooks as they are at their music, and one listen to "Quicksand" or "Daughters" will tell you the boys are not too fond of the opposite sex. Regardless, the band have become one of the best kept-secrets in pop-punk.
Why they're Band of the Week: Aside from being a band taking their name from a New Found Glory song that actually play pop-punk (let's be honest: the only thing All Time Low have become is a punchline to your favorite "awful music" jokes), the band have set themselves up to gain a lot more notoriety in 2012. Currently on a supporting slot of the Glamour Kills Tour with The Wonder Years, Polar Bear Club, Transit, and Into It. Over It./A Loss for Words, the band also recently tweeted that they will be on all three days of The Bamboozle Festival, and released a video for their song "Roam" over the weekend. There's no doubt that The Story So Far have the talent to be big, and with all of these great things going for the band, the only question that remains is, how high can they climb?
What you need to hear: I would say "Roam," because of the video release (which you can watch here), or any song from their highly-regarded debut Under Soil and Dirt, but a song I've been listening to a lot lately has been "High Regard." Relentless energy, great, stinging lyrics, and a big-time chorus: pop-punk doesn't get much simpler. Or much better.
