Four Year Strong Have Re-Recorded Their Album ‘Enemy Of The World’

Four Year Strong have taken their iconic album and given it a modern sheen, and it sounds massive.


There are iconic albums in the scene, and then there are albums that go above and beyond that.

Four Year Strong’s ‘Enemy Of The World’ is a perfect example of this. A collection of rousing, blistering and defiant post-hardcore pop-punk belters, it’s a record that has stood the test of time and feels all the most valuable and valiant today.

And the band have re-recorded it all!

The new version of the record will be released on February 17 2023 via Pure Noise Records.

Vocalist/guitarist Alan Day had this to say about it, and why they have done it:

`’We decided to re-record EOTW first and foremost to be as cool as Taylor Swift, but secondly because we wanted to be able to repress the vinyl and offer it to fans that haven’t been able to get it since the record came out.

It was really interesting to revisit all of the songs down to every detail, getting to kind of relive it in a way. We recorded the drums with Will Putney (who worked on the original EOTW as a engineer), did the rest by ourselves at Dans house, and then had Will work his magic on it and mix and master it.

We had just worked with Will for the first time since 2010 on our new album Brain Pain, and figured it would be perfect to work with Will as he knows FYS old and new more than anyone. So give it a listen, come out to the tour, and party like it’s 2010 again.”
