After a sixteen date tour around the EU and UK, The Story So Far ended their short trip with a sold out Engine Rooms in Southampton, packed with fans of all ages. All Get Out kicked off the jam-packed pop punk night with a dull bang — nothing impressive, but it could’ve been a lot worse.

Hopeless Records
