Worcester, Massachusetts. 8 pm. Those who have their hearts set on a Friday night bingo game or knitting circle at the Quinsigamond Village Community Center will walk away sorely disappointed. Instead, nearly 400 kids spanning all ages and tastes have excitedly packed themselves into the tiny venue. The room is plunged into darkness and the wild shouting echoes in the air; this is the moment they’ve been waiting for. The first strains of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” filter through the speakers as Four Year Strong take their hometown stage, fully prepared to shred faces, blow minds, and take no prisoners.
Alan Day, Dan O’Conner, Joe Weiss, Josh Lyford, and Jake Massucco are Four Year Strong. At first, this may not raise eyebrows or drop jaws, but it is only a matter of time. With a unique blend of brutal breakdowns and soaring choruses, Four Year Strong have sunk their teeth into the Worcester hardcore scene and thirst for more. Their music incites a riot like nothing seen before, leaving live crowds and CD listeners alike simultaneously blown away and fired up.
Their influences range from Lifetime to Saves the Day, Gorilla Biscuits to New Found Glory. “We just played exactly what we wanted to hear,” describes one member, 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. The band built their own sets, booked their own tours, and made music the way they want it to be made.

Wax, I know Mat's on that material. But as you can tell, what spurred that whole thing is"They don't scream, its the old singer from Bury Your Dead, he guest vocaled on 2 or 3 songs off Rise or Die Trying." On new material and live, Josh does screaming vox, except for when Bruso or other friends occasionally do guest vox in Worcester shows. Basically directing my comment at Brian, who was extremely wrong in saying that FYS doesn't scream at all. Not directed at you gocomeback, I get where you're coming from saying that they don't primarily scream.

@ ftrbreed I know Josh does do the screams, but if you would go get the CD read the booklet and you'll see it says "Additional vocals on 'Prepare To Be Digitally Manipulated' and 'Maniac (R.O.D.)' by Mat Bruso" then go and actually listen to those songs and hear that it's his voice. Do your homework and understand what we are talking about before you sputter nonsense about us not knowing what we are talking about
