The Story So Far Discuss Touring and Next Album

The Story So Far are aiming to record their next album this Summer with producer Sam Pura and in a recent interview they discussed tour fill-ins and working in the studio with Sam. Click the Read More… link to read an excerpt.

How was the transition from weekend gigs to full tours? It was just sort of learning as you go and learning from the bands you tour with. You go through the motions of touring, like breaking down and getting your van fixed and just all the other stuff that goes with it. It wasn’t a too terrible adjustment because we were just so excited to do it—it was all we wanted to do. You guys have had to bring fill-ins on a couple tours because of college. Will this summer mean the end of fill-ins on tours? Yeah, it does actually. The next tour we go on will be the full lineup of our original members. And this summer will actually be when we write and hopefully record another record. How are you approaching the writing process? We get together and jam all the time. It’s more like we all write our different parts or just like have ideas and we get together and figure them out. We don’t really take anything seriously until it starts to write itself. We never want to push anything when we write, we just want expression more than anything. I can’t say too much as to how we’re going to do it, so I have to keep that under wraps, but we’re definitely going to get together a bunch and blow it out of the water. Do you have a producer locked in? Yeah, we do. It’s Sam Pura, the same guy that did our last one. Do you have any specific reasons why you’re working with him again? Just the fact that every time we’ve recorded with him, it’s been extremely comfortable and it wasn’t like we’re doing it because we had to record and put out a CD. It was more like how can we make the best sounding music and how can we work together and take your guys’ tunes and mix it with mine and see if we can just one-up and improve. It was more like that. So once we got on the same level and page, it just kind of worked itself out. I love Sam, I love working with him. How have things changed in your approach towards the lyrics since the release of your full-length? Well, I mean, it’s definitely going to different. I’m not in high school anymore and been touring for the past couple months and just been meeting so many different people from other bands that I really admire and bands have given me a lot of influence and input. Just growing up in general, I’m about to turn 20 years old and that record I wrote the lyrics when I was 18, maybe on the bridge of 17. I don’t think it’ll be too terribly different on delivery and passion, but I definitely think the subjects will be different. I don’t like to say anything because it’s personal to me.
