biography

Taking influence from the likes of Lifetime, Gorilla Biscuits, and New Found Glory, Four Year Strong built an aggressive and melody-riddled combination of hardcore, emo-pop, and pop-punk upon their formation in Worcester, MA. The band's lineup -- vocalists/guitarists Dan O'Connor and Alan Day, bassist Joe Weiss, drummer Jake Massucco, and synth player Josh Lyford -- was cemented during the musicians' high-school tenure in 2003, though a form of the band had already existed for several years. Following the appearance of two self-released EPs, Four Year Strong signed a deal with New Jersey-based imprint I Surrender Records. Their debut full-length, Rise or Die Trying, was issued on the label in September 2007. Tour dates with groups like the Starting Line, Valencia, and From First to Last kept them on the road for the remainder of the year, and the band returned in 2009 with an album of '90s covers, Explains It All. ~ Corey Apar, All Music Guide

  - just imagine fall out boy, but they don't suck...
    
    i seen them with a day to remember about a week ago and i started liking them, they have catchy songs and they fuse pop-rock with some breakdowns which makes it like a kind of, happy hardcore.
    
    i've probably listened to the whole cd 4 or 5 times in the past week.
    
    "beat-down in the key of happy" is my favorite.
