Four Year Strong are awesome. Following in the footsteps of Set Your Goals, they’ve taken the pop-punk basics of Blink 182, added in the hardcore elements of Gorilla Biscuits, and mixed in some synths, à la Motion City Soundtrack. It’s up-beat, happy hardcore (but not like Scooter, at all). There’s enough cross-over appeal on display that there’s a little something for any rock fan, and it’s super-polished, so its sure to be radio-friendly too. It wouldn’t take much of a stretch of the imagination to see them follow in Fall Out Boy’s footsteps to global domination. They are after all, signed to Pete Wentz’s Decaydance Records in the US.
