Editor's note

The Story So Far's straightforward punk about emotional situations

A California band that built a sound on energetic guitar work and direct lyrics about personal relationships.

For a good sense of their approach, try 'Proper Dose' or 'The Glass'. They're both pretty representative of how the band operates.

Their 2011 debut 'Under Soil and Dirt' established a template that's held through songs like 'Proper Dose' and 'The Glass', no-frills punk that gets right to the heart of things. The lyrics don't dress up emotional situations, and the guitar work follows suit. It's a sound that feels lived-in, not polished.

They formed in Walnut Creek, California, with Parker Cannon on vocals. After 'Under Soil and Dirt' in 2011 came 'What You Don't See' in 2013 and 'Proper Dose' in 2018, with a legal dispute with their former label in 2016 that settled out of court.
