Parker Cannon is the vocalist for California pop punk band, The Story So Far (TSSF). Throughout the years TSSF has proved themselves as a pop punk powerhouse with Parker Cannon at the helm.
Over the years Parker Cannon and The Story So Far have released many pop punk classics like Under Soil and Dirt, as well as, What You Don't See via Pure Noise Records. And as of recently, their toned-down alternative rock-esque feat, Proper Dose.
Since then, it's been radio silence from TSSF. At least in terms of announcing new music. However, Parker has been hard at work (apparently). Him and his friends dropped one of the greatest pop punk EPs I've heard in a long time.
It was put out under the name "No Pressure" and the EP is self-titled.
In this video, we also touch on Parker's old project, Snarl. Along with an array of other RIVETING topics i tell ya. Haha hope you're all doing well out there.
Hope you mates have a fantastic upcoming week. I appreciate you watching my videos.

What do you think of Parker Cannon?
** video title inspired by thepunkrockmba
Never really kept up with his stuff other than TSSF so you kinda got me hyped to listen to his other stuff
Papa Persuasian you’ll love it
Thank you for the hard work once again, sir. If you get the chance, the former bassist of mom jeans has a band called just friends, two albums, both different but amazing. Think you’d like them!
I saw you commented on a recent punk rock mba video, have you been watching him for long?
I was thinking it looked like one of Finn’s titles haha
The takeaway: *Parker is a mysterious bad boi and we just want to make him smile and let us in*
perfect analysis
HAHAHAH facts
Hahaha it's so heartfelt
@@NateTheMateForever and could have been summed up in a 2 minute video, followed by a two minute video reviewing the new EP
@@stevenmorrissey1677 did you like the video?
With how much Tumblr girls were actually obsessed with him, I can understand and appreciate the distance from fans. I hate the idea of celebrity worship and parasocial relationships, and the crowd surrounding sad boy pop punk pretty much survived off parasocial relationships people felt they could form due to the raw emotion of the genre. Good on him for keeping that distance instead of feeding into the toxocity of said parasocial relationships.
always appreciate seeing your comments, Narzick. I hope you have a good one.
@@NateTheMateForever Thanks man! Have a good night yourself and hope you're doing well! Loving the content!
Yeah man, a lot of pop punk fans (and really a lot fans of stuff in general) are obsessive and weird. He seems like a private kind of dude and totally makes sense why he keeps a low profile. I suppose you could say it even adds to his mystique in a way
ahh i was a teenage tumblr girl during the height of their popularity. some chicks really were fuckin whack, beyond just a cute crush or teenage admiration.
Well said. Parasocial.
I'll never forget meeting Parker at groezrock. Instead of me walking up to him at the merch tent, he walked up to me cause I was holding their record. He was so nice and so hyped about the show he just played. Such a geniun nice guy
Great video, really well done!
youre everywhere!
Whaddup Finn
my man
I love everything by TSSF but Proper Dose really blew me away. It's almost like you have to listen to the albums that came before to appreciate that one even more. His personal growth from the earlier albums to Proper Dose is evident and I can resonate with that a lot.
Totally agree with this I think knowing the older albums and then hearing proper dose made me feel really content to know parker's journey like I was proud of him, ygm? Hahaha
@@AloraChu Yeah for sure!!
You can see the maturity I guess but it doesn’t mean it’s a better album. I don’t think there’s a better pop punk album than “Under Soil and Dirt”. I like Proper Dose but it’s evident that they’ve gone soft now.
My band got to play a festival with TSSF last summer and i went backstage before their set to try and say hi. Parker was happy to meet and even snap a photo together with the band. He even suggested I join them for a beer after the set (but I didn't want to push my luck). I never thought I'd get the chance to meet my heroes as a "co-artist", I'm thankful that they were so cool to a stranger. As a long time fan I wish them every success.
parker would kick you bc of this video
That is a fact
Parker saw my tattoo of some lyrics from Four Years and offered me anything from the merch table FO FREE, I swooped that vinyl of the acoustic album
last time i was this early mobo was still together
😂😂
Hey none of that
Parker literally Beyoncé’d us with that EP and I’m grateful
My phone froze for like a minute after the anthony fantano opening and for some reoson it made me laugh even harder
😂😂
I love Parker. Even beyond just being the singer in my favorite band I really respect how out of the limelight he's decided to stay while being one of the biggest names in the pop punk scene. I love how much his music affected me as an angsty teenager in the bay just around the same time he is.
Couldn't help but laugh at the dropkick it had just been so long since I had seen that.
I’m just watching this video now because it popped up in my recommendations and it’s literally spot on! I feel like his drug addiction also contributed to the way he acted a lot. He got sober between the self titled and proper dose releases, and you could immediately see the change in his whole entire demeanour. I honestly have never felt prouder of a person than when he came clean about his addiction and new found sobriety. Makes me wonder just how long he was really an addict. Once I had this info and took a step back and looked at all of the controversies surrounding him, it seemed like I understood better. There’s also an interview he did with Kerrang around the PD release, he kinda lets you in on what was going down with the band and himself before they began writing.
He really seems like a genuine guy aside from all the bullshit. People just seem to forget that band members and celebrities deserve happiness too. They aren’t fucking gods. They’re people like the rest of us. Treat them that way.
the no pressure ep gave me serotonin i didn’t know i needed. it was the most unexpected and beautiful throwback. tssf will forever go down as my favorite band of all time 🖤
It seemed like Parker was wanting to leave pop punk in steps, then this dropped out of no where. I wonder what motivated him on the sound.
I have to wonder that as well...
The No Pressure EP is some of the best PP I've heard in a minute, def took me back to the feeling I felt when I heard USAD for the time. I'd bet that he and his gf broke up and maybe that will motivate some raw and aggressive music out of him
He was posting a lot of stories of old photos of blink 182 so I think that was maybe the motivation
The uploads keep getting better and better. Now that’s a proper dose of good content !
haha thank you so much!
I've always found this obsession with celebrities strange, as far as I'm concerned I only really wanna know the art they put out. Finding out a backstory on what a song is about is always cool. But I dont see why what they do in their free time is so appealing.
I'm really enjoying his new project. Also, could you make a video about great pop punk songs on movie soundtracks?
that would be rad! thank you
Great idea
YES PLZ
Omg yes
I adore Proper Dose. It dropped at a tough time in my life and yeah it’s not pop punk but was great.
I am so psyched you brought up and talked about snarl! I love that hardcore album he did and not very many people I feel know about it so I’m glad you gave it some sunlight, love you Nate ❤️
Hey, dude thanks for getting me into such good music. I was exactly like young you for a while: all self-conscious and "my music is the best music," but now I'm in my 20s and have a freaking Mobo tattoo. You rock, dude.
You seem really chill! Thank you so much
also his stage presence is a lot like that of Liam Gallagher from Oasis, especially from more recent gigs, the baggy shirts and rectangle Ray Bans with the high mic position and hands behind his back thing is so reminiscent of him
I wonder why?
Jaclyn Jenson I think TSSF takes a lot of musical inspiration from Oasis too, a lot of their drum rhythms and solos sound very similar, tale TSSFs song the glass and Oasis’s song supersonic, they might sound the exact same but they share a similar ride and style
Love the subtle Walter Mitty & His Makeshift Orchestra during some of the transitions - really encapsulates the California vibe of both Parker and the band. Great video as usual!
Appreciate that! And love your username
Yeah Parker Cannon is cool and all but this Soup guy from The Wonder Years is where it's at
Oh trust me, I’ve had a love affair with Mr. Campbell for a long time. I’ll make a video about him too :)
@@NateTheMateForever excuse me 😳
@@NateTheMateForever 😲 really looking forward to that! Genuinely one of the greatest songwriters of our time.
@@jbasti227 could not agree more
now THIS is what we like to hear
Love this vid! The positivity is really nice to listen to. I love Parker and mostly, as you said, because he is true to his feelings. And about No Pressure, when I first listened to it it reminded me of Blink too. Thanks for this vid :)
Tssf are one of my favs and I had no idea Parker had a new side project. Thanks for calling this out man, love it.
Daughters is one of their best songs.
w0w edgy
@@caseypnw How is it edgy? It’s a good song 😂
bro im so happy people are catching onto parkers new project band No Pressure, you can really feel how much fun they are having with the EP
Mate i really appreciate this channel, the quality of the content in the videos is so good, you’ve been evolving so much. Keep up with the good work 🔥
Can't thank you enough! That motivates me a lot. Hope you have a safe upcoming week
god bless u nate i have been social media purging and u making this vid turned me on to this amazing project and also a piece on one of my biggest inspirations is always lovely
Hope you have an awesome night my mate. I appreciate you
Great video, I’ve tried so hard to get into the story so far because I can see the quality in the music, but I think the lack of energy in their live shows puts me off ever wanting to see them live
the crowd for a tssf show makes up for any energy the band may lack
Hey Nate, loved the vid. I never listened to any of his other stuff but I'll be sure to. Your vids are always a bright spot in my CZcams rotation. Thanks for making them.
Thank you so much Daniel. I really appreciate you
You always take the words right outta my mouth, Nate! Great video :)
Great vid man! Loved your perspective.
Parker is a super nice dude, just very recluse. I met him backstage at a show as my band was a support act, I knocked on their door and asked if they could sign my tssf skateboard. Wasn’t sure if that would annoy them but Parker and the other guys were all friendly and signed it and we had a short chat. Was so fucking psyched.
Doin’ fine is a SICK track. You just know this guy’s bringing punk back to its roots.
I've met him a few times and he's a really good guy. They played Ali in London after I asked him, they really didn't have to do that. I think the combination of the obsessive types, entitled fans lingering on stage and the overblown criticism for lyrics on made him want to stand back. I'm glad he seems to have found his love for music again.
Dang, jealous you got to hear a track off of WYWS! What year was it you saw em play Ali, just curious?
After seeing a video of him jump off stage to punch a security guard that aggressively threw a fan away from the pit, I have a lot of respect for him. He had no hesitation stopping the show .
aw man i remember meeting parker at a signing at warped '13 and he apologized to me for having to wait in the heat and called me hun and offered me a bottle of water lmao
A sweetheart😭😭
Can we talk about how Parker is a trend setter? He started the vocal style of shouting and rhyming simple melodies a lot and TSSF under soil and dirt birthed soooo many bands that had decent success (namely neck deep… without that album you don’t get neck deep). When TSSF went a bit more soft then all the other bands followed suit.
When I saw them open for Coheed that was kind of a local show and he was stoked as hell to be back in Berkeley. You can tell he's not angry and appreciates life now a days. I scremwd "we fuckin love you!" And he responded "we fuckin love you too man..."
Ya Parker is a really genuine guy. Met him at a small show two years ago when PD was coming out and we just talked about music for a good ten minutes. Even told me to let him know what I thought of the album once it came out haha
somehow stumbled here in 2023, and I cant help but wonder in reference to "Daughters" how anyone could say an artist is "wrong". Plenty of other Pop-emo and sad-boi pop punk bands have similar lyrics. Parker seems like one of the most genuine guys. Dude gave me a shirt bc I mentioned his show seemed low-energy. He admitted he wasn't feeling well but did not want to cancel so he performed anyway. Artist are allowed feelings and emotions too, even if the words aren't ones people like.
So glad you talked about this ep. I was so wonderfully blinded when i saw he released it.
“Tracks like Deal sound like a teenagers’ 2003 anthem blasting through their iPod classic’s headphones as they skate to the mall and get dippin dots, and I am ALL HERE FOR IT”
😂😂😂
Dead 💀💀💀😂
He is a real good dude, been fortunate to spend a few days with him and tssf guys during their tours and he's always been kind and caring person. Thanks Nate
Just wanted to say I really love your stuff man. I’ve always loved the genre, but there’s not that many outlets I know about talking about pop punk’s history and culture. Keep it up Mate 👍
That’s very kind of you to say Jake. Thank you so much
That No Pressure EP was running constantly in 2020 for me. Wasn’t too surprised my Spotify top 5 tracks of ‘20 were EVERY song off it! 😅
No Pressure’s new LP is also off the charts great. Really hope they tour full U.S. in the fall
I know some people hate this genre of music, but nothing like listening to a the story so far album, on a 2 hour drive, at 7 am on soltisce of Summer, his and his friends album was so remarking to me and i love the video.
Hey glad I found your channel! Keep up the good work, mate!
Thank you Mikah! Have a good Monday
Another g8 vid m8! No Pressure is "the old story so far" and my goodness it is crazy good! TSSF seem to be going a certain direction contra to their prior discography, and Parker desires to make the sound we all fell in love with. No Pressure is the EP I didn't know I needed. For me it is the best EP of the year!
Thank you so much Michael! I hope you have a great rest of your night
Nate you never disappoint as always
You the mate AJ! Thank you so much
The Story So Far is looking like it could be my top band on my Spotify Wrapped this year. Parker Cannon's anger and reflection fuels my walks to and from work, through hours of studying... listening to music is synonymous to listening to TSSF in my book. Love the No Pressure EP.
I love that haha. I hope you have a good night
you have no idea i listened to them for 4000 hours in 2019 at least thats what my spotify told me
Since my phone broke and I haven’t been on instagram for 2 months. And I just found out that No Pressure was already released thanks to this video! Thanks Nate! ✌️
"Today I'm alright no thanks to you"
I never comment on videos, but I have to this time because I need you to know that I appreciate all of your videos so much.
Wow, Chris that seriously means a lot. I hope you take care and have a great upcoming week.
From the looks of things it seems Parker Cannon is Doin' fine Nate
ayyyyyy that was good
I saw them for the second time at the rockstar fest in Houston. The venue is this huge stage with rows of seats (not the ideal venue for a band like this) especially as most people were there to see the bigger bands in the line up. during their set I was one of the only ones dancing and singing along in my seated section and Parker looked at me and gave me one of these 👊🏻 from the stage and a head nod. While I’ve never had the chance to meet him I’ll never forget that.
Parker is one of my favorite singers in life
(Not really that) fun fact: first time I've listened to TSSF, "Daughters" was the only song that stood out from the record (which just proves how dumb I was back then), English is not my first language but I loved the instrumental outro, and the only lyric that I got was "(...)away at college not getting smarter" whiCH I THOUGHT WAS A PERSONAL ATTACK!!!
Thankfully I gave them another try and grew to really like the band, Proper Dose having rekindled that flame once again. Can't wait to listen to this EP!
This, you and Parker are all gold!
Dang I really appreciate that Camz! Thank you
@@NateTheMateForever keep it coming! We're here to support you, parker and tssf!
Gasp! The self titled album is great !
Daughters is the truth honestly. He’s simply addressing the promiscuous culture in college. Nothing right or wrong. It’s just what it is
Yup. People get butthurt over that song, yet WAP is the number one song in America. Makes no sense
Jeff Throckmorton dude for real. Look at our culture. Saying anything about girls being promiscuous you get shamed. Just go on any social media and look how rampant it is
Can't say I'd be ecstatic if my daughter was out getting trashed and sleeping with randos in college. Sometimes it's good to put your self in someone else's shoes and see their perspective.
Yeah that shit sucks he’s just addressing it. I like it.
forreal im sitting here like whats so bad about daughters? thats one of my favorite songs and whoever it was written about obviously needed to hear it
oh hell yeah! i am here early :)
MY MAN 💓
Love these videos
Great video as always
Digging the Daisy shirt at 7:55
"Taking the pressure off".. hence, No Pressure! What I enjoy about tssf is that they are talented but regular & genuine people who just want to share true emotion via music. They're a league of their own and no strict label really fits them as a band. just fun & unique with upbeat / honest music. They don't try to do what others are currently, while still embodying inspiration from classic acts
Yaaaaas, mate! We're here to listen. 🙌
thank you Camz 😊
I just found No Pressure last night and I completely agree that it's his best work since "What You Don't See". That style of his work is my favorite: the fast, biting lyrics on the backdrop of a super catchy song. I noticed how TSSF got progressively slower and more ballad-like over the years and didn't care for it, but they've remained my favorite pop-punk band since NFG, still. I was flipping out last night when I listened to No Pressure. I hope they make a full-length!
I hung out with parker for about 10 minutes in 2011 at the glamour kills tour and he was the chillest dude. I still have the hat he signed.
Love you man keep it up
Love you so much Josh!
fire video nate!!!!
Basically Parker is based? Is what we're saying
Excuse me but why you kinda looked like dylan minnete on that warped tent with parker pic i-
As shitty as 2020 has been generally speaking, it's been such a good year for music for me. So many of my favorite bands/people have released amazing material this year. The future is definitely bright for punk.
Cant lie... I was really anticipating this to be a negative video on parker and I was soooooo ready to get angry in the comments but damn you literally explained my opinions on him soooo well. I love tssf so much thanks for making this 💯💯
No pressure made 2020 better 100%
I saw them play with turnstile and I was wearing a blood for blood hoodie dude saw me and walked over and handed me the mic and when I tell you at the moment I geeked and was legit the best moment of my life.
Not gonna lie the emotional part of their music I can relate to that's what got me into their music
Don’t know the guy but this was a really heart felt video
Much love John. Take care and have a good rest of your night
Nate The Mate Thank you my friend
Same
Totally agree with you, we can’t blame Parker because we don’t know even half of the mental illness he’s going through. I know people with severe anxiety that would never be able to do meet and greets. But agree it makes you want to know more about him the less you get lol. Tssf are one of the few bands I enjoy every single song and can play their first releases all the way through their new ones and love it.
Just need that new TSSF album.
Regardless as to what one thinks of Parker, TSSF music to is extremely addictive🎶🎸 The vocals to me are a perfect fit for the writing style and each song packs such an emotional punch that it may be a challenge not to binge listen to their records🤘🏾🎶🎸
Love the little Walter song clips.
Parker looks like he would play hockey, if he wasn't in tssf. And I would love him either way. Parker is such a good bad boi, I love him
Pleassseee make a video on the obsessives they need sm more recognition
i came across his new project titles "No Pressure" from my spotify discover weekly playlist
A love letter in video
"parker cannon interview" was literally my CZcams search that found this video
That 2012 interview was hella funny. I think Parker heard pop punk and checked out.
what do you guys think about the new bearings stuff?
I met Parker in a pretty strange way (Atleast for him) I passed by the merch tent during warped ‘16 and he was just standing there alone so I went up and just said hey man can I get a pic? And he seemed pretty chill about it, he even autographed my friends arm. Pretty sure he was toasted asf tho. Still a pretty rad experience.
What song is this 3:37? It's "Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra - Caterpillars"
My main takeaway: HE THICC BOI
Snarl played a random show in a DIY Basement venue near me. It was free and PACKED. Wild night!
Proper dose!!
“Tracks like Deal sound like a teenagers 2003 anthem blasting through their iPod classics headphones while they skate to the mall to get dippin dots” IM DEAD💀💀💀
lolol the 2003 reference to Deal is so spot on
