Dropping Determination

Former AP cover stars Story Of The Year released their sophomore effort, In The Wake Of Determination, this past Tuesday, Oct. 11; but if you‘ve yet to pick it up, you‘re in luck: The band are appearing on Fuse‘s 7th Avenue Drop all this week, playing songs both old and new live in-studio, so you...
