Four Year Strong have officially signed to Pure Noise Records, marking a new chapter in their career as they move on from having parted company with Universal Motown back in 2012 just prior to supporting blink-182 on their UK tour.

Four Year Strong have released four studio albums to date, the last of which was ‘In Some Way, Shape or Form‘ back in 2011, so with three years having passed this November since their last album hit the shelves this news will hopefully now mean that fans of the band will not have much longer to wait until details about the next album are released.
