Buddy Nielsen of SENSES FAIL said: "More than 20 years into our career and we are finally touring the United States with STORY OF THE YEAR.

STORY OF THE YEAR adds: "No one does friendship harder than STORY OF THE YEAR and SENSES FAIL. Not Maverick and Goose. Not Thelma and Louise. Not even Snoop and Martha. We're positively stoked to bring the love to your town on the 'Scream Team Tour'!"

STORY OF THE YEAR's sixth studio album, "Tear Me To Pieces", came out in 2023 via SharpTone Records. Featuring eleven tracks, the LP is distinctly, invitingly, loudly STORY OF THE YEAR. Heartache, desperation, motivation, toxic relationships, pain, loss, anger — all of the essential ingredients of the classic STORY OF THE YEAR sound propel "Tear Me To Pieces" in dazzling new ways.

STORY OF THE YEAR's debut album, "Page Avenue", was one of the first of its kind to sell a million copies. "Until The Day I Die" endures as both an anthem and mission statement. Tours with LINKIN PARK, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, DEFTONES and THE USED cemented STORY OF THE YEAR's reputation as a stunning and engaging live act. The connection between the band and audience transformed STORY OF THE YEAR from teenagers working in a St. Louis pizza chain franchise into hard rock headliners. Fans grew together with Dan Marsala, Ryan Philips, Josh Wills and Adam Russell, from "Page Avenue" (2003),"In The Wake Of Determination" (2005),"The Black Swan" (2008),"The Constant" (2010) to "Wolves" (2017). They specialize in intense, passionate, confessional compositions that inspire and empower. Songs like "The Antidote", "Real Life", "Miracle", "The Ghost Of You And I", "Anthem Of Our Dying Day" and "Take Me Back" resonate with anyone.

SENSES FAIL have been called any number of things across their near 25 years as a band — emo, screamo, post-hardcore, metalcore, pop punk. It's testament to the band's perpetual evolution as much as it is their steely endurance — a quality which frontman Buddy Nielsen has required bottomless reserves of along the ride. It's through the songs of SENSES FAIL that Nielsen has forever made sense of and peace with life's highs and lows; a journey that began in the leafy suburbs of Ridgewood, New Jersey with the iconic gold-selling debut album "Let It Enfold You", and which has since seen SENSES FAIL become one of rock music's most cherished, celebrated names.

Last fall, SENSES FAIL took part in the Las Vegas Golden Knights' first-ever Emo Knight at T-Mobile Arena, complete with special ticket packages and VIP meet-and-greet suites. SENSES FAIL also performed at When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas, where they celebrated their second studio album "Still Searching".
