Modern pop-punk titans The Story So Far brought their I Want to Disappear tour to MGM Music Hall for a nice pre-Thanksgiving evening. Accompanied by Superheaven and Koyo, The Story So Far are touring their fifth studio album, released this past summer on Pure Noise Records.
As one of the biggest names in 2010s pop-punk, California’s The Story So Far have claimed Boston as a second home for over a decade. The band has always made a point to stop in Boston (or Worcester) on each tour route, sizing up each time – their most recent tour with Joyce Manor sold out Roadrunner. Admittedly, hosting a show the night before Thanksgiving is a tough sell, but New England showed up and brought the party to Fenway.
The Story So Far’s discography goes back over a decade, but the band knows exactly how to mix-up a setlist to cater to fans of each album cycle. The band brought the energy and opened up with the lead single, “Big Blind,” from their latest album before stepping back to the lead single of their 2013 sophomore release, “The Glass.” Venue security was immediately put to the test as the waves of crowd surfers rushed to the stage, and singer Parker Cannon fed off the energy as he moved around and encouraged the crowd participation throughout the night. After a fake-out encore, Cannon wished the crowd a happy Thanksgiving and capped off another successful show in Boston.
