9/4/09 - Four Year Strong played the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia. During their set someone decides to set off a fire extinguisher into the crowd. The show stops, the venue is evacuated. 30-40 minutes later the show goes on, the band finishes their set.

Fast forward to last night, 1/14/10 - Four Year Strong played the First Unitarian Church again. During their set someone pulls the fire alarm. The show stops, kids chant “we won’t go, we won’t go,” the venue is evacuated. 45 minutes later, after waiting in the cold, the band announces that the fire department will not let the band go on. Dan and Alan lead a bunch of kids to a nearby park to perform 4 or so acoustic songs. Above is the video of “Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die”.

Probably one of my favorite FYS moments to date.

i figured this exists out there on the internet anyways, so i might as well post this as a little teaser for the new album.  This is a pretty rough quality camera-phone video of us playing a track from the upcoming “enemy of the world” record at our holiday show at the worcester palladium.  Don’t be too harsh with us, but I thought people might appreciate a sneak preview of one of the new songs! it’s called “wasting time(eternal summer)”
