Four Year Strong - Wasting Time (Eternal Summer)
Legendary hardcore-pop-punk-whatever band come back with a stormer
If you’re looking for a band who are unwilling to commit, look no further than Four Year Strong. It's no bad thing - variety is the spice of life and all that - as the band prove themselves capable of being able to produce some pretty intense tunes, be they pop-punk, hardcore, or anything inbetween. It's undoubtedly paid-off, as they have made themselves known over the years in many-a-poll, from “most anticipated” to one of the “40 bands you need to know”. You can't argue with that.
This talent has continued into newest offering, 'Wasting Time (Eternal Summer)'. Bursting with energy from the start, this one is a sure fire winner. “I don’t care” is basically 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 honest these lyrics are. Even when the track reaches its ‘breakdown’ moment, the energy is still completely visible, as chants like “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 chanting and 'woo'-ing, you can really hear how much fun they’re having with all this, which is something that's genuinely hard to find in some modern-day bands.
With tracks as good as this Four Year Strong deserve every success. They continue going from strength to strength.
