History

Under Soil and Dirt and What You Don't See (2011–2013)

Pure Noise released the band's debut studio album Under Soil and Dirt in June 2011.[1] On March 26, 2013, they released their second studio album, What You Don't See,[2] which debuted at number 46 on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S.[3] They have also released two EPs and three splits with bands Maker, Morgan Foster, and Stick to Your Guns. The band was featured on the cover of Alternative Press' March 2013 issue "100 Bands You Need to Know."[4] The band is scheduled to play the entire Warped Tour 2014 on the main stage.[5]

Songs Of (2014)

On April 24, 2014, The Story So Far announced on their Instagram and Tumblr accounts that they would be releasing "Songs Of" an acoustic/cover e.p. on June 17 through Pure Noise Records. The record contains some acoustic versions of previous songs, as well as new originals and acoustic covers of other artists songs.

The Story So Far (2015)

On January 5, 2015 a video titled "The Story So Far Album Teaser #1" was uploaded on the band's official YouTube channel. The video shows multiple clips of the band members with friends goofing around and having fun. At the end of the video a textroll appears, saying "We are writing a new record stay tuned..." [6]

On February 23, 2015 a video titled "The Story So Far Album teaser #2" was uploaded on the same channel. This video was a lot longer than the previous one and showed much more behind the scenes-footage of the actual making of the album. At the end a roll of text appears saying "LP 3 Coming Your Way Watch Out World Here We Are Not Afraid Of The Light".[7]

On February 26, 2015 a tweet was posted on the bands official Twitter page saying that the record now is finished.[8]

In March 2015, the band handed out demo recordings of the new song "Nerve" under a fake name - The Skateboarders. On March 15, the band announced their self titled album would be released on May 18, 2015.

On April 5, the band released the second single from the album, Solo, on BBC 1's rock show.[9] On April 26, the band released the third single from the album, Heavy Gloom, on The Bay Areas Live 105.[10] Both songs were put on to youtube soon after.
