Apparently this blog doesn't want to do a proper layout, which is nice. This is the last one I've done for now, but I will do some more this evening. I've decided I like this band...
If you’re looking for a band who are unwilling to commit, look no further than Four Year Strong. This is no bad thing- variety is the spice of life and all that-, as the band prove themselves capable of being able to produce intense tunes, be they pop-punk, hardcore, or anything in-between. This has undoubtedly paid-off, as they have made themselves known over the years in many-a-poll, from “most anticipated”[Alternative Press] to one of the “40 bands you need to know” [Rolling Stone].
This talent has continued into newest offering, Wasting Time (Eternal Summer). Bursting with energy from the start, this track is a sure fire winner. “I don’t care” is the main theme here, as lyrics are spat out, sung and chanted with passion and emotion. Aided by infectious drumming and guitar riffs to match, you can feel how real these lyrics are. Even when the track reaches its ‘breakdown’ moment, the energy is still completely visible, as chants including “wasting time, all along you were just wasting my time” are sung to the tune of an incessant drumbeat. In the background vocals- echoes of the chanting and ‘woo-‘-ing, you can hear how much fun they’re having with this, which is something which can be rare to find in some modern-day bands.
Four Year Strong deserve every success, as they have continued to go from strength to strength.
4/5
Just saw my review got published today! Compared to how bad my last published review seemed to be [haha], this one seems to have gone done well:
