Four Year Strong Tour

Four Year Strong is an American pop punk band from Worcester, Massachusetts, formed in 2001. The band's sound can be described as a blend of pop punk, Hardcore punk, and power pop. Four Year Strong have released three studio albums with the latest, Enemy of the World, released on March 9, 2010.

The band's sound can be described as a blend of pop punk, Hardcore punk, and power pop. The band simply developed their sound off the idea of playing 'exactly what they want to hear' or music that they would listen to, but no one else was playing at the time.The band has cited their influences as being Lifetime, Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits, Blink-182, and New Found Glory to name a few. Though the band would primarily start out as a post-hardcore and emo outfit, the release of their demo in 2004 would mark a shift from post-hardcore to more synthesizer-heavy tracks, where the band would began to embrace the styles of power pop and general hardcore punk. Prior to the release of and at times within Rise or Die Trying, the band also incorporates more facets of modern hardcore, such as double bass drums, breakdowns and screaming vocals.

The band has done multiple national tours, sharing the stage with such bands as The Starting Line,Hellogoodbye, From First to Last, Every Time I Die, Meg & Dia, Hidden in Plain View,Anti-Flag,Alexisonfire, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, New Found Glory, Bayside and Steel Train. The band toured in February-April 2009 as part of the Taste of Chaos tour, alongside Thursday, Bring Me the Horizon,Pierce the Veil, and Cancer Bats. They undertook the Summer co-headline tour with Set Your Goals, and also Fireworks, The Swellers, Polar Bear Club, A Loss For Words, Drive A and Grave Maker from July to August 2009. Four Year Strong also performed on the Australian Soundwave festival in February and March 2010. The band have also been announced in the lineup for Vans Warped Tour 2010.

Four Year Strong History

Four Year Strong is an American pop punk band from Worcester, Massachusetts, formed in 2001. The band's sound can be described as a blend of pop punk, Hardcore punk, and power pop.
The band's 2007 release Rise or Die Trying with I Surrender Records peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in its debut week. On the back of their increasing popularity, the band was signed to Decaydance Records in February 2008. On July 21, 2009, Four Year Strong released an album of covers from the 1990s, titled Explains It All.

The album features guest appearances from Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, and JR and Buddy of Less Than Jake. The band explained their reasoning behind the album in a Myspace blog, saying "It’s what we grew up listening to. Everyone has those songs that instantly transport you back to when you were younger. Whether we were in our bedrooms playing air guitar, or riding in the car to little league practice, or it was just that song that was all over the radio during that awesome summer at the Cape. These songs have impacted us in some way and we want to share that feeling with you.
