Story of the Year's charismatic frontman Dan Marsala recently sat down for an unforgettable episode of the Midwest Mixtape Podcast, brought to you as always by The Barn. This special edition featured a powerhouse panel of guest hosts from Vulgar Display of Podcast, The Tippy Jo Show, and Park Hills Underground Radio, bringing together voices from across the Barn Podcast Network for a rare and in-depth conversation.

Dan opened up about the band's current creative grind, revealing they’re back in the studio in California working on new material. Fans can expect the same emotionally charged energy, explosive riffs, and signature vocals that have made Story of the Year a pillar of post-hardcore for over two decades.

The excitement doesn't stop there—Story of the Year is gearing up for a massive hometown throwdown at the Pig & Whiskey Festival in St. Louis on May 11th, delivering a hometown set that promises nostalgia and high-octane performances. The festival continues their legacy of blending their deep-rooted Missouri pride with worldwide appeal.

Beyond the local stage, the band is set to make waves at some of the year’s biggest festivals, including Louder Than Life, When We Were Young, and even a Warped Tour stop in Orlando this November, reuniting with fans and longtime scene supporters in a whirlwind of passion and nostalgia.

Still riding the momentum from the 20th anniversary of Page Avenue—an album that redefined early 2000s alt-rock and post-hardcore—Story of the Year continues to innovate. Their recent dubstep remix of “Can’t Slow Down” with Kayzo proves the band’s fearless experimentation and connection to modern sounds, blurring genre lines while staying true to their roots.
