The Story So Far
California band the Story So Far have roots in pop-punk, but they also bring in the harder edges of post-hardcore while tapping into the wistful romanticism of classic emo. The group evolved as they became one of the more popular acts of their kind, embracing a more indie-leaning sound and entering the Billboard charts with their 2018 breakout album, Proper Dose. A lengthy gap preceded its follow-up set, I Want to Disappear, which was released in 2024.Hailing from Walnut Creek, California, the Story So Far formed in 2007. The founding lineup included vocalist Parker Cannon, guitarists Kevin Geyer and Kevin Ambrose, drummer Ryan Torf, and bassist Kelen Capener. Ambrose left the band in 2010 and was replaced by William Levy. The group signed with Pure Noise Records and released their debut full-length, Under Soil and Dirt, in 2011. Amid a heavy touring schedule, they also managed to release multiple EPs and split releases before offering up their second album, What You Don't See, in 2013. It spent a week on the Billboard 200 at number 46, a feat outdone by their eponymous 2015 LP, which reached number 23. Burnt out on touring, the Story So Far took a well-earned hiatus before returning to the studio in the spring of 2017 to start work on their fourth album, which was teased by the charity 7" "Out of It" that September. Another single, "Let It Go," appeared in July 2018, heralding the album's arrival two months later. Titled Proper Dose and inspired by the band's newfound collective love of the Beatles, it saw them pushing their songwriting in new directions with the addition of acoustic and electronic elements. Proper Dose became the group's highest-charting effort up until that point, debuting at the number 19 position on the Billboard Top 200. The band toured at length in support of the album and released new singles and videos from Proper Dose well into 2019. In May 2022, Capener announced that he had left the band. Rather than immediately enlisting a new bassist, drummer Torf handled the bass parts for recording, and Nik Bruzzese came on as an auxiliary bass player for live shows. The Story So Far had only issued a live recording and some miscellaneous non-album material since Proper Dose, but they released the new studio track "Big Blind" in August 2023, ahead of their tour supporting blink-182. A second single, "Letterman," appeared the following March as the band started to ramp up the promotional cycle for their fifth album. I Want to Disappear was released in June 2024 and reflected the members' emotional growth over the six years since their previous release. Muscular and focused, the album was recorded by producer/engineer Jon Markson at the Flemington, New Jersey studio Animal Farm.
