Story of the Year is an American rock band formed in St. Louis,
Missouri in 2000.The band was originally formed under the name Big Blue
Monkey. They changed their name to Story of the Year in 2002 after the
release of their EP titled Story of the Year on the indie label Criterion Records, after they realized a blues group of the name Big Blue Monkey had already existed.
It would not be until a few years after forming that Story of the Year
saw its first piece of commercial success in its major label debut, Page Avenue, containing the popular singles "Until the Day I Die" and "Anthem of Our Dying Day". A second album, In the Wake of Determination, followed in 2005, but did not achieve the commercial success of its predecessor. The band released their third album, The Black Swan, on April 22, 2008, which was their first release on Epitaph Records, followed by 2010s The Constant.
Story of the Year has most popularly been referred to as representing
the genres post-hardcore alternative rock, and punkmetal. Although these
are recognized as the band's primary genres, they have also been known
to perform in styles ofalternative metal, hard rock,pop punk and emo (or
emocore).[ The band, however, prefers not to be labeled at all, and tends to simply refer to themselves as a "rock band".
