Four year strong

I've always said that I wanted to talk about bands, but at first my focus was completly on artists, photography and clothing lines, its not to say that its a bad thing but the point is I've been neglecting the things I set out to do, thats a wrong I'm attempting to right and to kick things off I've got an amazing interview with an even better band, four year strong, read the interview then go check out their music.

Phil:

Hey guys how’s it going?

Four year strong:

Its going real good man.




Phil:

How did four year strong start?

FYS:

We are a 5 piece band from Worcester, MA; most of us have been friends for a good amount of years. Dan Alan and Jake met in 2001 from school. They started the band soon after meeting. Down the line they met Joe and asked him to play bass for the band after the original bassist had left. Later on they picked up josh bringing them to the current line up. The past 2 years he band has done multiple national tours sharing the stage with such bands as Hellogoodbye, Houston calls, junction 18, hidden in plain view, hit the lights, ect.




Phil:

So how long have you been together?

FYS:

The current line up of the band has been together for 3 and a half four years now. Before the current line-up there had been a couple member changes and the band in one form or another has been around for 6 years.

Phil:

So right now you’re in the studio recording a full length EP what will it be called?




FYS:

We haven’t nailed down a name yet but were sure were going to be psyched about it.

Phil:

What should we expect from it?




FYS:

As far as what to expect from the new CD it steps up our sound, its heavier and poppier than any of our old stuff.



Phil:

When will it be out?

FYS:

It should be out late July were not sure of the exact date yet.




Phil:

Recently you got signed to I surrender records (congratulations by the way) what made you choose to sign to them?

FYS:

Were pumped about signing to I surrender; we went with them because it means we get to deal with people on a personal level and not just a business level.

Phil:

So what have you got coming up for the rest of the year?

FYS:

Our plan for the year we just hope to hit the road and have a good time.




Phil:

Thanks guys

FYS:

Thanks bro! Josh and Joe FYS
