December 8th, 2017 - St. Louis, Missouri - Story of the Year are celebrating the release of their first full-length album since 2010, Wolves, today. Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, New Found Glory, Acceptance)and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge & J Hall, this album has already garnered incredible praise from outlets like Billboard, Nylon, Fuse, AXS and Alternative Press. Fans are just as excited, which was proven when the band's Pledge Music goal was hit in under 72 hours. Wolves is available today on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and Pledge Music.
On the release of this highly anticipated album, Guitarist Ryan Phillips shares "I haven't been this excited about Story of the Year in our entire career, which is saying something considering we've been a band for 15 years. Wolves is the result of turning years of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety into art. It was tough. We didn't know if we would ever have another record, but the gift of that mindset is a collection of honest, organic songs written strictly for us - not for radio, press, or even fans- it was written purely out of passion, no one made us do it. That's a beautiful thing." For an in-depth interview on each track from singer Dan Marsala, fans can head over to Fuse, who called Wolves "their [Story of the Year's] most personal record thus far."
On the recently released single "I Swear I'm Okay," Billboard shared that the band "expands their sonic palette with vintage synthesizers and electric drums, successfully transitioning the sound and fury of their past into the modern alternative rock arena." Complementing this praise, Alternative Press premiered the track "Bang Bang," calling it a "sure-fire crowd-pleaser"and continued on by saying "it's the perfect way of reminding fans why they fell in love with the band in the first place."
In celebration of this release, Story of the Year will be hosting Album Release Parties in Chicago and St Louis early next year. Fans will get to hear some of these new tracks live for the first time along with their favorite hit songs they have been singing along to for the past 17 years to hit songs like "Until The Day I Die," "Anthem of our Dying Day," "Take Me Back," "Wake Up" and more. For more details on these special shows and for news about future dates in 2018, please head to http://www.storyoftheyear.net/.
Story of the Year is Dan Marsala: Vocals, Ryan Phillips: Guitars and Computers, Josh Wills: Drums, Philip "Moon" Sneed: Bass and Vocals. They have previously released five studio albums -- Page Avenue, In the Wake of Determination, The Black Swan, The Constant and 10 Years and Counting: An acoustic reimaging of Page Avenue.

"The hard hitting, bluesy guitar riffs Chris hammers out combined with Jocelyn's
gravelly, honey-smoked vocals, which are similar to a young Fiona Apple
and the talented Grace Potter, are wonderfully matched."- Lemonade Magazine
"The Arndts sound like they were raised on 60's rock records,
and would enjoy having a drink with the ghost of Janis Joplin" - New York Scene Report
"Chris Arndt is a powerful songwriting force on all twelve tracks of the album,
delivering piercing guitar riffs that are precise, yet purposefully sluggish
as a means to flirt with his listeners." - NYS Music
December 8, 2017 - Boston, MA - Sibling blues-rockers Jocelyn & Chris Arndt are thrilled to share their brand new video, "Red Stops Traffic," premiering today via Edge TV. Fans can check out the dark and visually stunning new video, here: bit.ly/2BgYynW. "Red Stops Traffic" comes from the band's sophomore full-length album Go, which was released on May 3, 2017.
On the new video, Jocelyn Arndt shares: "We really wanted the video to fit the vibe of the song: desperate, emotional, searching. 'Red Stops Traffic' is definitely one of the darkest tracks off of Go. We took a risk, but I think in the end we succeeded in capturing those feelings visually."
Siblings Jocelyn & Chris Arndt are developing an authentic retro-rock style that gives the sounds they grew up on a millennial twist. They've recorded five releases with guest players including G. Love, Gov't Mule's Danny Louis, Beau Sasser of Kung Fu, and legendary session players Alvin Moody, David Baron, and Ilya Toshinsky.
In April, Bridge Road Entertainment released Go, Jocelyn & Chris' second full-length studio album. Go remained at #2 on The Relix Jambands Top 30 Album Chart for 3 consecutive months. The first two singles from the album were Billboard's #5 and #4 Most Added Triple A Radio Singles in the US, topping out at #64 and #63 on The FMQB Triple A charts nationally.
Together with their band, Jocelyn & Chris have logged performances across the country, including stops at The Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, CMJ, and Milwaukee Summerfest, where they won the audience vote for "Best Band" on the emerging artist stage. Theyʼve played hallowed stages like The Birchmere, The Viper Room, and The Bitter End. Theyʼve provided direct support for Vertical Horizon, Little Feat, Marc Cohn, The Gin Blossoms, and many others.
Five releases. Four years touring the country. Airplay on over 200 radio stations nationwide. Two Harvard degrees (well, almost - just give Chris eight more months). No sleep. Countless broken strings. One dream, thirteen years in the making.

Judicial Watch today released two productions (335 pages and 44 pages) of Justice Department (DOJ) documents showing strong support by top DOJ officials for former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates’ refusal to enforce President Trump’s Middle East travel ban executive order. In one email, Andrew Weissmann, one of Robert Mueller’s top prosecutors and formerly the Obama-era Chief of the Justice Department’s Criminal Fraud Section, applauds Yates writing: “I am so proud. And in awe. Thank you so much. All my deepest respects.”

Mueller’s in a bind: Lawsuit forces FBI to release agents’ anti-Trump texts and emails
Source: BIZPAC Review
That revelation that a top FBI agent in the Russia and Hillary Clinton investigations was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team for sending anti-Trump messages to an FBI lawyer dealt a major blow to the investigation’s credibility.
QUOTABLE
“This is an astonishing and disturbing find. Andrew Weisman, a key prosecutor on Robert Mueller’s team, praised Obama DOJ holdover Sally Yates after she lawlessly thwarted President Trump. How much more evidence do we need that the Mueller operation has been irredeemably compromised by anti-Trump partisans? Shut it down"
- Tom Fitton
President of Judicial Watch
