The Story So Far are an American pop punk band from Walnut Creek, California, who formed in 2007. They’re currently signed to Pure Noise.
The band’s website loudly proclaims that their work ethic and attitude basically corresponds directly to one of their lyrics - “you don’t deserve what you haven’t earned” - but the band themselves had hardly been slogging it out for years before their own breakthrough came along - the group were not long out of school when they put together the original lineup of Parker Chest Hole Cannon on lead vocals, Kelen Capener on bass, Ryan Torf behind the drums and Kevin Geyer and Kevin Ambrose playing guitar. That same lineup still exists today, although with William Levy having replaced Ambrose on six-string duties.
The band have released two albums to date, and their first, ‘Under Soil and Dirt’, saw them move a step closer to the holy grail for pop punk bands, the Warped Tour, by playing both its UK leg and its warm-up, Road to Warped, in their native U.S. in 2012. They built up enough of a fanbase through events like that - as well as through high-profile support slots to the likes of New Found Glory - to secure them a slot on the tour proper in 2013, around the time they were promoting album number two, ‘What You Don’t See’. They returned to the tour in 2014, alongside the likes of Bowling for Soup and The Devil Wears Prada, and are lined up to be a key fixture on the Pop Punk’s Not Dead Tour of Europe in winter 2014, too.
