REVIEW: The Story So Far – Under Dirt And Soil
July 1st, 2011 James Shotwell “There is little doubt in my mind that The Story So Far are only a few months away from reaching the very top of the contemporary pop punk scene, alongside recognized greats like The Wonder Years or The Swellers. Once people get a hold of this album, and realize how good it really is, there will be no stopping this band.”
