What is going on with this years line-up for the Eastpak Antidote Tour?

# Gogol Bordello
# Bedouin Soundclash
# Danko Jones
# Disco Ensemble

Not quite up to last year's standard huh?

While I've only recently got into Story of the Year, I've already been strongly impressed by some of their stuff. Most notably Page Avenue. Songs like Until the Day I Die draw in you in fast and this is followed by getting hucked on tracks like Burning Wings.

Story of the Year manage to maintain a fairly constantly heavy beat given they fall quite well into the emo genre. Whereas bands like American Hi-Fi rise and drop into their hardest edge, Story of the Year manage to keep the beat up constantly while still giving it a mix that is most notable on Page Avenue.

In short, their other work is good, Page Avenue is better.
