Story of the year are back with their eighth studio ALBUM "A.R.S.O.N," AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING SITES FROM fEBRUARY 13. tHE DEBUT SINGLE "GASOLINE (ALL RAGE STILL ONLY NUMB)" IS

OUT NOW AND SETS THE TONE FOR WHAT IS TO COME WITH THE CLASSIC SOTY POP-PUNK UNDERTONES, FRY SCREAMS, CLEAN VOCALS AND SINGABILITY, WHILE FEELING MORE MATURE, heavier AND GROUNDED OVERALL. AS A FAN FROM "PAGE AVENUE" ERA, I AM BEYOND EXCITED FOR THIS RELEASE.
"A.R.S.O.N. marks the next evolution of Story Of The Year’s signature sound and raw, personal lyricism - elements that have earned the band a dedicated global following. An acronym for

“All Rage, Still Only Numb,” the album channels
their trademark energy into a powerful exploration of anxiety, emotional turmoil and inner darkness. With a dynamic blend of modern post-hardcore, polished production, and nods to their emo roots, A.R.S.O.N. delivers a compelling, storied sonic journey through the fight to make it through this life."
“Gasoline is a song about hitting your breaking point and saying fuck everything,” explains guitarist Ryan Phillips. “It’s about being wild and reckless, and giving into the impulse to burn it all down and start anew.”
“In a lot of ways, A.R.S.O.N. picks up where Tear me to Pieces left off,” shares the band. “We used the same team - Colin Brittain producing again,

with the main objective of simply writing great songs. Nothing was forced, no trends were chased, it was simply about getting to the essence of what makes SOTY sound like SOTY: Big guitars, snappy drums, and Dan’s ability to seamlessly oscillate between screaming & singing songs about desperation, loss, and the complexity of relationships.”
STORY OF THE YEAR WILL BE TOURING aUSTRALIA in 2026 as part of Park Waves Festival, alongside Australian music legends parkway drive, the Amity affliction, Northlane and alpha wolf.
