News: Four Year Strong Stream Another New Song

I’ve got this buddy up from Boston, actually, he grew up in Worcester, and for those who know the area, that is a major difference that is very relevant to this topic. He swears up and down that Four Year Strong haven’t been the same since their debut album, It’s Our Time. Now, this is mostly because he’s a deeply stubborn man, but it’s also because he’s one of the hometown faithful of the band. I’d argue, of course, that Rise of Die Trying was a phenomenal album, as will most anyone else, but they aren’t going to sway his opinion.

But yesterday, these Worcester natives released “I’m A Big, Bright, Shining Star”, the second single off their upcoming self-titled album. And if I didn’t know any better, I’d say this song alone was good enough to make him change his mind. The track contains all of the elements of classic Four Year Strong; a little gritty, heavier than a lot of their later work, and most importantly: gang vocals. Very, very well done gang vocals. Check out the song for yourself after the jump, and stay tuned for Four Year Strong’s self-titled album, due out on June 2nd via Pure Noise.
