Story Of The Year — The Black Swan

Story Of The Year found mainstream success earlier this decade with their debut full-length, Page Avenue, which spawned several unlikely radio hits. After a lacklustre sophomore album, it may be safe to say that SOTY are sounding more like their old selves again. The Black Swan marks a return to their first album's catchy choruses and maintains...

Edgefest 2's Smaller Acts Upstage The Headliners

If Edgefest 1 brought the rock, Edgefest 2 definitely brought the punk. Or pop-punk, anyway. Focusing on one genre instead of a mixed bag like previous years produced uneven results, but young punks flocked to the Molson Amphitheatre to see a wide array of mainstream and underground punk talent. One of the great things about going with the...

Recorded live in their hometown of St. Louis, the aggressive, intelligent and catchy tunes from their previous effort Page Avenue are executed with a full, ear-satisfying sound. Their raucous mix of dissonant vocals, distorted guitars and speedy tempos, coupled with...

Shots of the soldier in Iraq are interspersed with home videos of his family, which seem to be in the form a video diary his partner has sent him. The ending is kind of adorable....

Story Of The Year vs. Cauterize

You may remember punk rockers Story Of The Year from their run-in with the mooks from Godsmack a few years ago. Chart got the far more amiable Jesse Smith, singer/guitarist of Cauterize, to speak with SOTY singer Dan Marsala. There may be a love match. Dan Marsala: So Jesse, wanna go on a date sometime? Jesse Smith: Yeah man, for sure. DM: Do...

Story Of The Year Hate Bad Music, But Love Japan

When ChartAttack last interviewed Story Of The Year, vocalist Dan Marsala said that the band he would most like to beat up were Disturbed. His bandmate, drummer Josh Wills, picked Staind. Two years, several tours and a new album later, not much has changed for the St. Louis-bred punk quintet. "Probably Godsmack," says guitarist...
