Sounds like I'm gonna have to check them out

You've never let me down before ;)

They're from St. Louis, they did a show last night at The Pageant, you got a free ticket if you pre-ordered the CD and I don't think they filled it. It holds around 1700 people I think, same place Eva played last time. I've heard Every Time I Die quite a bit, it's not bad, I almost checked out more based on Nate's avatar but never got around to it. Besides, I hate Smile Empty Sole, I'm indifferent towards Three Days Grace, and I like Revis despite not owning Places For Breathing yet. Oh any by the way Page Avenue is their 8 Mile. One of the guys was on the radio the other day.

Oh I wasn't saying they sound like those bands.. just trying to put them somewhere along the lines of people's taste.. I can't stop listening to the cd.. it's just amazing!

I just heard one of their new songs on the radio...it was on the top 8 at 8...totally thought it was Cauterize at first though :oops: Good stuff, although it seems like they are following the sound of a lot of the new bands out there. But still...good shit :D

actually never heard them, do they have an official site or a site and samples up? hope i can see what y'all are saying is really good.

this is what the sticker that Nate gave me said:
"www.storyoftheyear.net www.maverick.com/storyoftheyear catch story of the year on the warped tour 2003"
Hope that helps! :D

I know this thread is really old, but I'm moving it to completely off-topic. Story of the Year is pretty big.

Ohhh I love Story of the Year... I love Anthem of Our Dying Day, and Until the Day I Die, they are pretty big around here!

I have their cd it is o.k. Not one of my favorites but I will listen to it. My favorite songs are "Swallow the Knife" and "Burning Years". "Anthem of Our Dying Day" is good too but it is overplayed.

I like them a bit but didn't heard all the songs yet, but there's at least one song that was in the game NFS Underground.

"The hero will drown" ;)
I'm a huge fan of theirs. My favorite song has to be "swallow the knife".

Yeah, I saw them in January with Linkin Park. SOTY kicked ass. They were funny, and I was amazed with how they could do flips WHILE PLAYING GUITAR!
Page Avenue is a good album.

I have respect for Story Of The Year.

I've just been told that the next single off of Page Avenue is called "Sidewalks".

I saw them with LP also. The lead singer (dunno his name) fell off the stage during "enter sandman". :eek:

eww i hate that song. I always though "in the shadows" would be a single since they played it at pepsi smash. =X

SOTY rocks like heck. I <33 'In The Shadows', 'Sidewalks', 'Anthem of our dying day' heck i luv the whole cd. :p

Yeah, they really surprised me. I wasn't expecting there cd to be THAT good, but it's amazing. It's nice to hear a band actually PLAY their instruments. They really showed me something, and the lyrics are great. Of all the songs on there though, I don't like Sidewalks that much. Oh wel, it is there most pop song. It will probably gain some fans.

"Sidewalks" is an o.k. song, not really one of my favorites off of the album. I am kinda surprised that the never used "And The Hero Will Drown" like KosmO said it was on NFS:U. Sometimes they pick songs that will gain the most fans and not wich one sounds good overall. Oh well.:rolleyes:

Ive heard 2 SOTY songs..their okai but Anthem of our dying days really sucks. (and its on mtv.) So they're selling out, and i dont like bands who sell out. --;;

umm...like...wasn't Nirvana on MTV... :p

anyway, I really like that one song that goes "I know we buried too far down to ever see the sun again".

I can't remember what the name is, but it's the one before "Swallow the KNife". Although, Swallow the KNife is pretty sick. :D

the hell is with the KN? :confused:

Need tryping classes.lol. ;)

So had it not been on MTV, you would have reacted a different way towards it?

Or do you hate it just because it's on MTV?

Just wondering.

Not for nothing, but EvanescencE has beeen on MTV countless times.....

I'm not a fan of Story of the Year, so I really dont have room to talk lol

i love SOTY. i heard the first single and thought it was ok, but then i saw em live when linkin park came to dallas. they rawk! they did flips and acrobatic crap while playing guitar, without screwing up, and their cover of "enter sandman" effing wrocked.
soo when they came to town again in a smaller venue i hadta go see em. just as awesome, and wast better is that afterwards i got to meet em and had em all sign my story of the year shirt....


wierd... as im typing this my radio just said "story of the year: "anthem of our dying day"

oh, and the drummer was wearing a spurs jersey when i met him... awesome...

noo the song still sucks. its annoying. see, what im saying is that now adays, if your on MTV you automaticly sell out. And the person who said somethin bout nirvana, i know they were, but they werent ever really indie. i mean, bleach was but after nevermind they soldout. i just like them cus i love their music anyway. and i know evs beenon mtv but when fallen came out it was just a hit ^_^ so technically they didnt "sell out".......

i like them and there songs they have really creative lyrics

ohh! I see. so what your saying, is that if any band uses MTV as a way to sell records, in order for them to not starve, and feed ther families and such, they've sold out. And this, ladies and gentleman, is why I don't understand the hardore underground people. They'd rather have their favorite indie band die of starvation, then enjoying the fruits of their labor. People who are like this, usually aren't musicians, or have never taken a music marketing class, or they would see that ANY means of promotion is good, even if technically it's something bad being said about the band. Just like the old saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity. If I was in a position to use MTV to reach a wider audience, I would NOT hesitate for a SECOND. Being poor, and hungry, but maintaining indie cred, is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

But, it's only my opinion on the subject, and that is yours, so whatever. :D

not to be rude... but there that "old saying" that goes like this... 'dont quit your day job'.

There's also an old saying that goes "WTF?".

What did my day job have to do with any of this? :rolleyes:


Anyway, back on topic, I was just listening to the cd, and I must say, that song right before Swallow the Knife, is awesome. "I know, we're buried to far down, to feel, the warmth from the sun again." Awesome lyrics, and a great song! :D

ahh...sorry. It was 11:00 when I wrote that. I must've been tired. ;)

According to Billboard, they will be headlining the 2nd annual Nintendo Fusion Tour. They will be touring with Lostprophets, My Chemical Romance, Letter Kills, Amberlin, and Autopilot Off.

Cool. I hope they come to Washington. I saw them on Hard Rock Live, and they are amazing live. I've never seen guitar players flipping and stuff while still playing and not messing up. And the singer's got a hell of a scream. :cool:

woohoo! story of the years headin to dallas! w00t! i get to see em a third time! ill have seen them as many times as i've seen ev, heheheh

I just heard some of their songs recently and they're pretty good. I like In The Shadows the most so far, but most of what I've heard were just samples off fye.com...I was at Circuit City yesterday and I noticed in the pop/rock section that all the Story of the Year albums were sold out. Then again, this is Circuit City.

*gasp* CAN IT BE?! I have converted Gary into actually liking their music now! Hmm? All thanks to whom? Hmmm? Hmm? HMMMMMMM?!?!?! lol...

Soty rocks, I'm in a tentative position on going to their concert here in the Wiltern T_T;; Damn friends haven't responded lol...

i like story of the year. I've only heard two songs which were until the day i die and anthem of our dying day but i love both songs so yea i would definetly keep listening to them. :D

Did anyone see them on Hard Rock live a couple weeks ago? It was wicked. The guitar players are doing flips and kicks and stuff, and the singer has one of the baddest screams I've ever heard. They played my favorite song too, "Dive Right In"(although, I liek pretty much the whole damn cd,lol) They rock live, it's obvious why they are headlining the Nintendo Tour.

I taped it :D. They're also going to be on Fuse: Sessions @ AOL on the 18th at 7PM and will be taping that as well :).

Story of the Year will be releasing their sophomore album on October 11th. The album is called In The Wake of Determination.

The lead single is called We Don't Care Anymore and you can hear it at www.myspace.com/storyoftheyear

I'm not a huge fan, but I somehow ended up front row when these guys were playing Warped Tour last summer. It was so dusty and hot, I thought I was gonna suffocate. :p

Cant wait for the new album, and im going to see them on the Taste Of Chaos tour in November yay!

They've made the new single downloadable along with adding a new song on the album called "Our Time is Now"

Yup I have "Page avenue"(Their CD) and it's awesome! Anyone know if their good in concert?!

They are a great band. A personal favorite of mine. I love Page Avenue and I'm waiting for the new album. I can't wait until it comes out. I think it's going to rock and be awesome just like the other album they have.

RIGHT ON HUN. one of my friends is the same way. i took her to an Ev concert and while the band was setting up she was like "see if i took youto one of my fave bands concerts they would've been ready like that" and i was just like yeah and they probably wouldn't sound as good. underground stuff may be good but why would you want to watch your fave bands starve? btw Story of The Year may have been on MTV a few times but their album Big Blue Monkey that was released a while before Page Avenue could definitely be considered indie. just cuz you don't like the song doesn't make them sell outs. alot of people could say Evanescence sold out but Ben Moody said something to the tune of "Just because something's catchy [why it may be on MTV] doesn't mean you're selling out..." my point is MTV does not= selling out.

Anyway moving on. yeah i love Story of the year. Page Avenue is one of those albums you just blast while on the beach with your friends down the shore. :cool:

STORY OF THE YEAR!!!That's a great band...I really like their songs.

I borrowed the cd from my cousin today. I really liked what I've heard of it so far. ^^

I listened to most of the album on MTV.com and I have to say that it is really good.

I really like Five Against the World, the lead single "We Don't Care Anymore", Take Me Back, and Our Time is Now

yup. So far it sounds a lot better than 'Page Avenue' and I loved that album.
Here's the link to the Leak if anyone wants to listen to it:

I searched but couldnt find anything. I just got their new album 'In the Wake of Determination' and its amazing! I think its different from Page Avenue but both are great cds. Just seen them at Taste Of Chaos too and in my opinion were the best band of the night :) Has anyone from the UK got the 'Live in the Lou' Cd/DVD? Is it an all region DVD or only region 1?
