The Story So Far is a pop punk band who hails from Walnut Creek, California. While they may be riding off the pop punk revival hype that's been happening for the past two years, these dudes know how to write some catchy riffs. The vocals are sometimes reminiscent of TAYF-era Taking Back Sunday, and the emotions in them bleed through the speakers. Even the drummer gets props for coming up with drum parts that will get caught in your head for months (see: Mt Diablo). They excel not only as a full band, but also acoustically, as evident in Placeholder, and solidify their solidarity as a band. While they may be getting tons of recognition right now, this full length has confirmed that it's well deserved.
