Today on The Dose, I'll feature the new single from Story of the Year called "Real Life"
Here's some info from allaccess.com:
St. Louis' Story Of The Year are back with a new single "Real Life" and new label Sharptone Records. It's from the band's forthcoming sixth album and first since 2017. Lead vocalist Dan Marsala said, "It’s a song about the constant struggle of making a relationship work. The ups and downs of being in love. Not every day is full of sunshine, but if you fight through the pain together, you can make it out alive with a smile on your face."
Story Of The Year’s debut album, Page Avenue, was one of the first of its kind to sell a million copies. “Until the Day I Die” endures as both an anthem and mission statement. Tours with Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Deftones, and The Used cemented Story Of The Year’s reputation as a stunning and engaging live act.
The connection between the band and audience transformed Story Of The Year from teenagers working in a St. Louis pizza chain franchise into hard rock headliners. Fans grew together with Dan Marsala, Ryan Philips, Josh Wills, and Adam Russell, from Page Avenue (2003), In the Wake of Determination (2005), The Black Swan (2008), The Constant (2010), to Wolves (2017). They specialize in intense, passionate, confessional compositions that inspire and empower. Songs like “The Antidote,” “Real Life,” “Miracle,” “The Ghost of You and I,” “Anthem of Our Dying Day,” and “Take Me Back” resonate with anyone.
The band is back on tour with September festival performances at Four Chord Music Festival, Ohio Is For Lovers Festival, and Blue Ridge Rock Festival. In October, they will perform at We Were Young Festival. In between, Story Of The Year will be headlining a number of shows featuring special guests Hawthorne Heights and Escape The Fate
