Story of the Year
Story of the Year is an alternative and punk pop band originally formed in St. Louis around 1995/1996. Initially named Big Blue Monkey, in 2002 they changed their name to Story of the Year because a blues group had already taken the name Big Blue Monkey.
Story of the Year recorded a few EPs before they released their first LP album Page Avenue in September 2003. Their first single from that album was "Until The Day I Die" written by singer Dan Marsala. It first received radio airplay around July/August 2003 on stations like KROQ and sold hundreds of copies worldwide.
They toured with Linkin Park on the Meteora World Tour in 2004 along with bands P.O.D. and Hoobastank. They were also on the Van's Warped Tour and at the KROQ's Weenie Roast on June 12 on that same year.
