Story of the Year - Tear Me to Pieces (March 10th 2023) • Page 13

Someone in the tour thread posted they are doing a 20 year tour for page avenue that’s being split into 2 legs fall this year and January next year

 

I can't disagree that a lot of their songs are formulaic and generic, but their self-titled album, Black Lines, and Sunnyland are all fantastic. Unfortunately they generally ignore the hell out of those albums for live shows.

 

I actually really enjoyed their most recent full length.

 

No Toronto date on the Yellowcard tour, so fingers crossed for a Page Avenue date

 

This IG story killed me

Amazing

 

That was great lol

 

Lmao that was so unexpected. I really did laugh out loud.

 

For my money, this band joking around is funnier than Blink to me. I miss their podcast and hope they pick it back up before the PA tour.

 

I tend to agree. Sotys banter is best.

 

Didn’t realize they stopped doing it. Any reason given as to why?

 

Not as far as I know, and it seems like a bit of wasted opportunity, they had a ton of momentum building up to the release of the new album and then just kind of disappeared.

 

This band really hasn't had momentum since those early Page Avenue days. It's too bad since all their releases are solid. Hopefully that Yellowcard tour being so successful got them some new fans.

 

I am shocked there's still PA 20th Anniversary tix still available in Chicago. Wife's never seen them and only knows the hits, so this might be a no-brainer to go.

 

So they are releasing each song from the page avenue ghost signal live stream

 

Have they ever not sounded incredible live? I is just as good as I remember seeing them 15 years ago.

also how else is playing guitar live?

also also where are all the backflips?

 

Sick, I hope they release all three of the livestreams. It was great seeing them play some of those deep cuts from In the Wake and Black Swan.

 

Pretty sure it’s only gonna be page avenue cuz of the album turning 20 years old

 

Can't wait for 2025 and 2028 then

 

Seeing how great they still sound on these livestreams has me excited for this tour. I’ve only seen them once at Warped in 2008 and they were absolutely one of the most energetic sets I’ve ever seen. I’m still shocked they are doing such an extensive tour after not touring regularly for most of the past 10 years. It’s been 15 years since they’ve been to the NW.

 

SOTY is easily one of the best live bands of their ilk. Incredibly fun showmanship from all of them the entire time.

 

SOTY is, and has been my favorite band since 2007. Their live performances have always impressed me both in terms of musical skills and energy. I had no idea a livestream concert could sound this good. The only thing I didn't like about those livestreams was the "trying to be more blink-182 than blink-182" jokes between songs. The SOTY guys are funny for sure, but that type of humour doesn't fit their music IMO. That aside, the livestreams of ITWOD and TBS were absolutely perfect. I'm sure they will eventually share each song from those streams as well, but right now they'll just focus on Page Avenue for obvious reasons. I love SOTY.
