STORY OF THE YEAR have announced a new album!

Titled Tear Me To Pieces, the upcoming album from the St. Louis, Missouri-based post-hardcore band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Wolves and is scheduled to be released in March next year, via SharpTone Records.

“I think this album will be a defining moment in our career,” says guitarist Ryan Phillips. “When our fans hear it, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, shit, these dudes are ready to go!’ This is the sound of a band putting everything into it. If a new band came out with this album, I’d be texting everyone in my band about it.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Tear Me To Pieces. The new song is the second song to be released from the upcoming album, following on from Real Life, which was released back in August.

Speaking about the new track, Phillips explains, “perhaps more than any song on the record, Tear Me To Pieces checks all of the boxes in regards to what best defines STORY OF THE YEAR – anthemic pop choruses balanced with guttural screams, high energy punk rock inspired drums, dark-ish lyrics, and aggressive guitar riffs. This one song runs the gamut.”

“This song fully represents the lyrical and musical vibe of the entire album,” continues vocalist Dan Marsala. “That’s why we chose it to be the opening track and album title as well. Tear Me To Pieces puts you in the right mindset to hear the best record STORY OF THE YEAR has recorded in a long time.”
