The Story So Far is the third album by the Tewkesbury ska punk band Spunge. [1] It was released on 26 August 2002 on the B-Unique Records label and recorded at two studios, Sawmills and Jacobs. The record was produced by John Cornfield (Supergrass, Muse) and Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Therapy?).

The album perhaps marks a change in the band's sound, from a more laid-back ska style to a more rock sound. Two singles, "Jump on Demand" and "Roots", were released from the album.

The album peaked at #48 on the UK Albums Chart, while the singles "Jump on Demand" and "Roots" peaked at #39 and #52 on the UK singles chart, respectively. [2]

The Story So Far includes a new version of the single "Ego", from Room For Abuse .
