Four Year Strong Return to Easycore Form with "Tread Lightly"
Welcome back to the late 2000s.
Four Year Strong's last release, 2011's In Some Way, Shape Or Form, alienated a part of their fanbase by moving toward a more radio-friendly rock sound. But all signs point to the group's new effort, the Go Down In History EP, being a return to form for the band that helped popularize the "easycore" subset of pop-punk. Stream the first song released from the EP, "Tread Lightly," above.
Out July 22 via upcoming punk-centric indie label Pure Noise Records, Go Down In History will revisit the sound that Four Year Strong focused on with 2007's Rise Or Die Trying and 2010's Enemy of The World. Those records brought FYS, led by the barrel-roll dual vocal attack of Alan Day and Dan O'Connor, into the spotlight on the Warped Tour circuit.
