The Story So Far have announced a self-titled album, due out May 19th via Pure Noise Records. The band is currently streaming the new song “Nerve.”

It goes without saying that 2015 is going to be a massive year for music, but in between the obvious contenders for our most anticipated releases, there’s also a slew of up-and-coming talent that we’re keeping our eyes glued to this year.
After releasing their fantastic debut full-length earlier this year, Elder Brother—consisting of Kevin Geyer (The Story So Far) and Dan Rose (Daybreaker)—have constantly been out playing shows across the country. idobi writer Catherine Yi caught up with Dan during their brief west coast winter tour to discuss why bands should never break up, that one weird song on the record (you know which one I’m talking about), the best albums of 2014, and more.
