Hear Story of the Year's Explosive New Song "Tear Me to Pieces"

Melodic hardcore veterans Story of the Year have announced their sixth studio album, Tear Me to Pieces, for a March 10th release via SharpTone Records, and unleashed its lead single and title track. The song arrived today (October 12th) along with a high-octane music video. Watch and listen above.

Guitarist Ryan Phillips commented, "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."

"I think this album will be a defining moment in our career," Phillips added of the LP overall. "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."
