Rise or Die Trying

Four Year Strong

A high-velocity collision of sugary pop-punk hooks and bone-crushing metalcore breakdowns. Relentlessly energetic, harmonized, and built for the mosh pit.

It's what happens when you give a pop-punk band heavy metal pedals and two lead singers.

Relentlessly high-energy and motivational with a defiant, celebratory edge.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the atmospheric intro of The Take Over into the crushing riff of Prepare to Be Digitally Manipulated.
The massive gang-vocal hook in Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die that demands a room full of people shouting along.
The sudden, heavy breakdown in Bada Bing! Wit a Pipe! that pivots the song from sugary pop to aggressive hardcore.
