![The Story Of: Until The Autumn [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1535395_lg.jpg)
"Berkeley", the opening track off Until The Autumn by The Story Of ( MySpace ) compiles male vocals, includes plays on volume, and has an emphasis on melody. Hearing the tune for the first time, I was immediately reminded of Denmark's epic group Mew. But here, the song is not quite as heavy, not quite as forceful; the listener is allowed to relax. Of course, the entire album is not like this. "Hawk Gospel" would be better classified as true indie-pop, while "The Flock" is more suited [...]
I respect a band with a message. It's difficult to discern what the message usually is in these "oh so modern" of times. At times, there is no message: just a cry for attention, a desire to make people dance, a means to survive in the music industry. But when a band is genuine in its musical creativity, and uses its music to notify others of reality and its vices, it's an interesting listen. The Story Of , an experimental pop/rock band hailing from Ohio, yet residing in Texas, fuses its artsy creativity and willingness to openly express opinion [...]

The story of The Story Of began five winters ago when a group of friends from the Appalachian region joined forces to create some conscious, melodious pop rock. They now reside in Austin, Texas where good music seems to come out of the faucet. The Story Of have released three albums and an EP and are about to release a fourth LP, Until The Autumn , on March 3rd. It was written, recorded, and produced by the band in a cabin by the Colorado River. Until The Autumn travels from bright indie rock ("Berkeley") to [...]
I'd like to start doing this every Wednesday, if there's enough support for it. Actually, I'll probably continue to do it either way. We used to do something similar on Rock Sellout, but it was called 'Smash or Trash'. I often thought that sounded too negative, so I'm sticking with 'Roundup'. The basic idea here is to try to play a little catchup with my inbox. If you've been blogging for a while, you'll know that in a short period of time you can suffer from a serious pileup in there. You [...]
I know I once again flaked on posting, but I've had a cold for the past couple of weeks that just doesn't know when to leave. Kind of like the creepy, wasted guy at the afterparty who can't seem to catch a hint. I'm feeling quite well today, so I took advantage of the better health and spent pretty much this entire day catching up on email and snail mail submissions. And to make up for my delay, today's post is going to be a massive one. I hate to say that I won't be able to give [...]
The Story Of from Austin, TX is a band that needs a ruthless editor. They can spin a tune, write some words, but the two of them seldom come together as a meaningful unit. Until The Autumn was recorded in a cosy a cabin together on the Colorado river. For the next one they better drive into town and look for signs that say ""sound engineering" and "mastering facilities". As it stands The Story Of is a struggling indie shoegaze band with only two songs - Berkeley and Veteran's [...]
Haunting, romantic, and confidence are three words that come to mind after listening to Until The Autumn , the third album from the Austin based indie act, The Story Of . The well thought out lyrics and dream like musicianship of the opening track "Berkeley" tell the listener right off that they are here to stay and nothing can change that. A little national attention could be a good reason for the cockiness, but so could the package of solid songs that make up the record. "We're not afraid to show, to show who we are, to the [...]
I don't know what it is about Austin, TX that breeds such outstanding music. Maybe it's the hill country. But, it's probably the weed and the laid back vibe, man. But, the state capitol has done it once again, this time with The Story Of . The group recorded their new album Until The Autumn in a cabin along the Colorado river and the sounds that came out reflect that vibe. The sound of The Story Of heartfelt, honest, piano-driven indie pop music. They are what Band [...]
Another week, another cherishable band from Austin, Texas. Must be the sun or SXSW's influence but that city really throws up more than it fair share of quality bands. And that's where 5-piece The Story Of currently call home, a band without a label but with the conviction to self-release their own album 'The World's Affair' last year. When the LP hits its stride like on 'After Just A While' you
