“Our live shows have always been our calling card, sort of what were known for. The synthesis of the ‘Bang Bang’ video essentially revolved around tapping into that live energy in a visually appealing and mysterious way, capturing a raw, guttural performance. Something to remind people that we’re back and rock harder than ever! The other objective was to incorporate the WOLVES album concept by Interweaving a dream sequence in which Dan is being hunted by werewolves while on a mission to rescue his muse. His muse, represented by a frail, timid rabbit, is symbolic of all that is opposite of the ferocity of a wolf. This video was completely DIY – us hiring our friends, pooling our resources, and going out in the woods and being creative.” – Ryan Philips of Story of the Year
We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Story of the Year’s music video for “Bang Bang” (watch it below). The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming album Wolves, which is available now through iTunes, Spotify and all other major digital distributors, as well as physically here.
In celebration of this release, Story of the Year will be hosting album release parties in Chicago and St. Louis early next year. Fans will get to hear some of these new tracks live for the first time along with their favorite hit songs they have been singing along to for the past 17 years to hit songs like “Until The Day I Die,” “Anthem of our Dying Day,” “Take Me Back,” “Wake Up” and more. For more details on these special shows and for news about future dates in 2018, go here.
