Four Year Strong are one of today\'s forefront pop punk/melodic hardcore bands, taking influence from the likes of Lifetime, Gorilla Biscuits, and New Found Glory, Four Year Strong built an aggressive and melody-riddled combination of hardcore and pop punk upon their formation in Worcester, MA. The band\'s lineup -- vocalists/guitarists Dan O\'Connor and Alan Day, bassist Joe Weiss, drummer Jake Massucco, and synth player Josh Lyford -- was cemented during the musicians\' high-school tenure in 2003, though a form of the band had already existed for several years.
