Show Notes
Story of the Year joins Nick Major on Spout for a wide-open conversation about their new album ARSON, the meaning behind All Rage. Still Only Numb, and how the band continues to evolve after nearly three decades together.
Dan Marsala, Ryan Phillips, Adam Russell, and Josh Wills look back on the early days of Page Avenue, Warped Tour memories, their long-running friendship, and why chemistry has mattered just as much as musicianship. They also dig into working with producer Colin Brittain, the making of songs like “Gasoline” and “See Through,” and how technology has changed the recording process without replacing the human energy that built the band.
The episode also gets into music videos, action-movie inspiration, Star Wars, touring, tattoos, voice care, the return of Warped Tour, and why Story of the Year still believes in making full albums in a singles-driven world.
For fans of Story of the Year, Page Avenue, Warped Tour, post-hardcore, emo, pop-punk, ARSON, and early 2000s rock, this one is part nostalgia trip, part creative masterclass, and part proof that some bands were built to survive the algorithm.
