Four Year Strong in Portland

Four Year Strong is an American pop-punk and melodic-hardcore band formed in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 2001. The group is known for forceful guitar riffs, shared lead vocals and breakdowns on albums including Rise or Die Trying and Enemy of the World, as well as songs such as “Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die” and “Wasting Time (Eternal Summer).” Four Year Strong played multiple editions of Vans Warped Tour as its audience expanded beyond the punk-club circuit. In 2017, the Rise or Die Trying 10 Year Anniversary Tour featured the album performed in full, while the band’s annual holiday concerts made The Palladium a recurring setting for its hometown shows. The group performs as a full electric band, with guitarists Alan Day and Dan O’Connor sharing lead vocals.
