Four Year Strong to Kick Off Tour in Support of New Album

Massachusetts band Four Year Strong are set to release their fourth album, ‘In Some Way, Shape, or Form,’ on Nov. 8, and they'll be supporting the disc with a U.S. tour.

Four Year Strong are headlining the ‘The AP Tour’ alongside Gallows, Title Fight, the Swellers and Sharks. The trek kicks off tomorrow night (Oct. 13) in Allentown, Pa., and runs through a Nov. 26 gig in Cleveland.

The band’s new release was produced by David Bendeth who helped guide the band through recording what is being called their ‘hardest, most mature and experimental sound to date.' To get a feel for what’s in store, fans can listen to the first single ‘Just Drive’ via Loudwire's review of the track here, as well as ‘Stuck in the Middle’ on the band’s website.

When asked about the first single, vocalist and guitarist Dan O’Connor said, “’Just Drive’ is about being on the brink of disaster, and just saying "f--- it” and living your life like there’s no tomorrow.”

Very proud to be part of ‘The AP Tour,’ the band admits it’s something they’ve always wanted to do. O’Connor added, "We are stoked to be headlining The AP Tour. 'Alternative Press' has always identified and supported bands who have real passion for music, so it means a lot to us to be a part of the tour.”

The band has also sweetened the pot with a contest they are currently running. Winners will get a special intimate acoustic performance at each of ‘The AP Tour’ stops.
