The Story Of is the musical collaboration between five friends. We were raised and cultured in the midwest, banded together in Athens, OH, and currently reside in the sunshine of Austin, TX."The two tracks that lead off the album, “EMT” and “After Just Awhile,” move with the kind of big, confident swagger that all rock acts should carry, but instead of plodding along at one pace the band infuses little sections of inspired vocals that bring the songs to life and make them stand out from the rest. “Pinwheel” avoids standard indie rock characteristics and instead ventures into a neat mix of ballad and a more elaborate version of something that seems like it belongs on Spoon’s latest effort. “Wonderlust” and “The Privateer” also stray from the norm, but both of them do so by delving into a cauldron of various prog-rock elements that provide a spacious feel. Diverse is clearly an understatement..." - Austinsound.net

The Story Of
This Ohio-to-Austin quintet isn’t content to let melodic indie-pop aspirations languish in the living room. The Story Of’s intricate, would-be anthems are girded with universal themes of struggle and redemption. Though 2007’s The World’s Affair stretches thin in spots, few bands have the temerity to reach so far in the first place. – Greg Beets
