Biography

Bringing a unique blend of brutal breakdowns and soaring choruses, FOUR YEAR STRONG have cut their teeth into the Worcester hardcore scene and thirst for more. Their music incites a riot like nothing seen before, leaving crowds blown away, and fired up.

Their influences range from Lifetime to Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits to New Found Glory. The band built their own stage sets, booked their own tours, and made music the way they want it to be made.

With this do-it-yourself determination, FOUR YEAR STRONG do not pretend to be anyone but themselves. The band does not sugarcoat their image, avoiding the pretty-boy front that smothers the scene. Behind the numerous tattoos and grizzly beards, FOUR YEAR STRONG are the kind of guys you would want to bring home to Mom and Dad. The band does not bother with egos or attitude, determined to connect with every fan on a personal level.

So this brings us to their latest release... we could join a few snappy adjectives together to make you wet down below and quiver at the knees but instead we’ll let these dudes tell ya:

“Rise Or Die Trying,” the debut release from Four Year Strong, is the perfect pop punk album.” - Under The Gun

“Simply put, this album rocks... Four Year Strong has risen above the hype and made an album worth every word of praise it has received.” - Absolute Punk

“When a record is as consistent as Rise Or Die Trying it can make picking a stand out incredibly difficult.” - Kill Your Stereo

Dan O'Connor was previously a member of Massachusetts hardcore band Bury Your Dead.
