Four Year Strong hits the road next week

Worcester, Massachusetts-based up-and-comers Four Year Strong are proud to announce U.S. tour dates throughout August and September! Check the band out on the road with Alesana and As Cities Burn in August and with East Coast pop-punk icons The Starting Line in September and October. Synth player Josh Lyford said about touring with The Starting Line: “We are all huge fans so we are very excited to tour with them and play as many shows as possible.” Be sure to check Four Year Strong out on the road while they debut brand new songs from Rise Or Die Trying.

Four Year Strong’s debut full-length, Rise or Die Trying, premieres September 18th on I Surrender Records. Already, the album has generated an excited buzz across the web, featured on social networking and music websites such as Absolutepunk.net and FriendsorEnemies.com. The band has over 450,00 plays on each Purevolume and Myspace with nothing more than a taste of what Rise or Die Trying will bring. Unrelenting spirit, gut-wrenchingly good music, and no flashy gimmicks, Four Year Strong are building themselves to the top with an indestructible foundation.

Four Year Strong’s influences range from Lifetime to Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits to New Found Glory.

“We just play exactly what we want to hear,” describes Dan, explaining their combination of hardcore and pop-punk.

Sharing an average age of 20 years old, the five guys of Four Year Strong have already self-released two EPs, making themselves known on the Smartpunk Top 100 sales and Purevolume’s “most played” charts. Four Year Strong combine equal parts melody and mayhem; however, their true talent lies in the ability to use these parts to create one exciting, infectious whole.

“We wanted to put out a great record and not just a bunch of great songs.”

They fully embrace their album title, Rise or Die Trying, and Four Year Strong refuse to stop until they’ve taken the world by storm.
