Cecilia caught up with Story of the Year backstage at Vans Warped Tour Orlando 2025 to talk full-circle moments, backstage chaos, and why “Until the Day I Die” still hits different two decades later.
The band looks back on the early-2000s Warped grind, the chaos of never knowing your set time, and the very real stress of trying to make it to stage (and the bathroom) on time. They dig into how their relationship with Page Avenue has evolved, what it’s like seeing younger fans scream the deep cuts, and how it feels to still be playing songs they wrote as kids.
We also get into the community on this year’s lineup, plus what fans can expect from their upcoming album A.R.S.O.N. (out Feb 13, 2026 via SharpTone Records). New singles “Gasoline (All Rage Still Only Numb)” and “Disconnected” are out now.
