About Me

Forming in 2002, four is lucky enough to have been one of the biggest contributors to the Louisville music scene in the recent past. Named one of the top three punk bands in Louisville in the LEO (Louisville Eccentric Observer) Reader Choice Awards of 2004, they are one of only a few regularly working indie pop-punk bands in the region. With influences like The Ataris, Saves the Day, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, and Elliott, they are able to form a tight mature sound that embraces the energy of punk with the melody and hooks of power pop. In 2004 they released their full-length LP Overdue, a 17 song record transitioning the band from kids who loved to play fun music to musicians who had something to express to anyone willing to lend their ears. The record was critically acclaimed by the local press and received radio play on local stations WLRS and WTFX as well as stations in Knoxville, Memphis, Cincinatti, Indianapolis, Albany, Charlotte, and several College Radio stations. It also spawned a spot on the Vans Warped Tour spinoff that came to Louisville, Warped Tour Jr., which featured national acts My Chemical Romance, Simple Plan, Thursday, Sugarcult, Flogging Molly, Yellowcard, among others. In fact, four was the only unsigned band to play the main stage at the event.In December of 2004 four returned to the studio once again to rework arrangements for several of the songs off of Overdue and also begin recording their new material. The first session saw new versions of Youre Amazing,Wendy,The Last Thing Ill Say to You, and You Never. The songs have been treated to fresh arrangements with an emphasis on achieving true growth. The new songs For My Brother,The Glass is Half Empty, and Hollow Shell, showcases the aforementioned growth as the band pushes the limits of traditional pop-punk as far as they can go.2005 promises to be an exciting year for the band. They plan on releasing another LP in late spring followed by an extensive College Radio Promotion with Tinderbox Music and/or Bryan Farrish Radio Promotions, and an exhaustive tour in any city offering a venue to showcase the bands ability. God speed./body
