Four Year Strong is an American pop punk/melodic hardcore band hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts. With their formation in 2001, they have become a prominent name in the music scene. Their energetic and catchy sound has garnered them a dedicated fanbase.
Known for their high-energy performances and powerful lyrics, Four Year Strong has made a mark on the pop punk genre. Drawing inspiration from bands like *Man Overboard*, *Set Your Goals*, and *A Loss For Words*, they have created a unique blend of melodic hardcore that resonates with listeners.
With influences ranging from punk rock to metalcore, Four Year Strong's music combines heavy guitar riffs, fast-paced drumming, and infectious melodies. Their discography includes albums such as "Rise or Die Trying" and "Enemy of the World," which showcase their talent for crafting anthemic songs.

When it was time for Four Year Strong to prep what would become their sixth album, analysis paralysis, they were truly, finally, stumped. Vocalist/guitarists Dan O’Connor and Alan Day showed up to producer Will Putney’s studio on day one of recording without a single finished song, in stark contrast to the 40-some ideas they brought to the table for 2020’s Brain Pain.

The two spent those early days in a bedroom at Putney’s house talking about, and listening to, music, desperate for a spark of inspiration. They found it by looking back: at what made Brain Pain a success and even the genesis of Four Year Strong as a band as they rode their trademark sound – pop-punk energy, dextrous riffage and caustic hardcore spirit – to the top of the underground in the late aughts. Within a month, they’d completed nearly 80% of the album, like the ominous, metal-meets-industrial “aftermath / afterthought.” They melded combustible hardcore rhythms with ‘90s alt-rock melodic bliss (“uncooked”), dabbled in rough-around-the-edges reggae (“out of touch”) and swerved between vibe-heavy synths and thunderous breakdowns (“STFIL”).

The result is an album that expands their classic sound in exciting ways – but through it all, it’s unmistakably them: O’Connor and Day’s distinctive vocals atop the airtight rhythm section prowess drummer Jake Massucco and bassist Joe Weiss provide. This deep into their career, there’s really nothing that doesn’t sound like Four Year Strong with these four involved.
