    Buzz Magazine - Story Of The Year (Dan Marsala) (First Published: February 2010) -Bianca Bozzi Not many bands out there can claim they were roughed up by Godsmack’s roadies outside of a radio station once. ‘We played a radio station in 2003, and we told the crowd to move closer to the stage. They were angry, mainly at me ‘cos I’m the lead singer.’ recounts Dan Marsala. ‘I know our bass player got a punch to the face, [but] no one got too hurt. It was over in about two minutes...It’s been about six years, so I don’t really care about it anymore. So we just continue to make fun of each other.’ But Marsala outrights says ‘I don’t like Godsmack.’ Missouri band Story Of The Year are currently on tour around the southern US with acts including Maylene, The Sons of Disaster and Thrice, who SOTY played with recently. ‘Yeah, we played with Thrice not that long ago,’ explains Marsala. ‘We’ve toured with them about three or four times...and it’s been about three or four years since we played together.’ There is always some guarantee of shenanigans at SOTY’s gigs and this time is no different, especially with the release of their new album The Constant. ‘The other night, there was a four year-old kid on his dad’s shoulders, and Ryan (Phillips, SOTY guitarist) let him play his guitar...in front of about 5000 people.’ Marsala also notes that there is always craziness surrounding SOTY’s gigs, even amongst the band ‘always hurting and jumping on each other.’ The Constant, produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (Escape The Fate, Incubus), is SOTY’s fourth album, and the creative process was rather straightforward.

These statistics from the American Institute on Domestic Violence have started a nationwide effort to highlight that number of victims has not dimin- ished, but there is a fight to end it. SIUC’s Progressive Masculinity Mentor organization is taking part in this movement to stop the abuse and murder of women for “Men Against Violence” week. During the next few days, the organization will collaborate with the Women’s Center to host events to educate men about the ongo- ing problem and encourage them not to commit these violent acts. On Tuesday afternoon in the Faner breezeway, Derrick Williams, the organization’s founder, and other members set up a table for male stu- dents to take a pledge against domestic violence for the “These Hands Don’t Hurt” project.
