Story of The Year • July 25-26, 2026

Staying Connected After 25 Years

More than two decades after Page Avenue introduced Story Of The Year, the band is proving it’s far from finished. Frontman Dan Marsala joins LA Lloyd on the Rock 30 to discuss the new single “Disconnected,” how fatherhood has changed life on and off the stage, and why this chapter may be the most creatively fulfilling of the band’s career.

DISCONNECTED

One of the biggest rewards for Story Of The Year today is seeing multiple generations of fans at their shows. During the conversation, Marsala reflects on songs that took years to find their audience, how the band’s creative process has evolved over the past 25 years, and why making music on its own terms has never been more rewarding. He also shares the story behind “Disconnected” and why the song arrived at exactly the right time.

GASOLINE

Marsala also discusses how his definition of success has changed over the years. While platinum records and sold-out tours were once the milestones, today’s success is measured by longevity, creative fulfillment, and the opportunity to continue connecting with fans old and new. It’s a conversation that reflects not only where Story Of The Year stands today, but why the band’s passion for making music remains as strong as ever.
