Four Year Fight

I got some excellent Melbourne, Florida pop-punk for you today!

I remember playing shows with Four Year Fight like it was yesterday,  I remember them breaking up, and I remember seeing them from time to time after we were all no longer in bands.  It was either our 2nd or 3rd show that we played with them first, and we've been friends since. We both signed to the short lived Fairfax Records (local label operated by The Influence), and stayed around Melbourne for our teen years.

I still remember seeing Zach from time to time before he moved.  One time I saw a mysterious figure with a bandana over his face two-stepping towards me at walmart.  Good times.  I really miss watching this band play.

Four Year Fight

The Culprits - 1513

Disclaimer: I do not have expressed permission by this band to upload this album, however after years of looking for it and offering to buy it from them (with no response), I got lucky one night on soul seek (after a certain jerk "lost" my favorite cd). If anyone in The Culprits wants me to take this album down I will. If you like this album, the follow up "Nora" is available on itunes.

I gotta say, if it weren't for this album, I probably wouldn't have gotten to punk like I did. When I was about 14, I was straight edge and had been into punk for a few years, with some dabbling in the realm of hardcore. One night at a youth group event on the beach, two major things impacted my life. First, I met a girl who led me on until I was 20 and had moved from Melbourne. More importantly and more meaningful than anything I had with that girl, I heard this CD.

More new music! Not by me!

So I've got 2 other bands for your listening pleasure!

First.

The Influence IS my favorite local band of all time. I still remember listening to their demo for the first time at band practice and not thinking much of it. It was during one of my, only listening to punk stages. However, I've got to say this is the best band to have come out of my home town. At this point I probably sound like a rabid fanboy, or trying to suck up to one of the band members. Maybe I am a rapid fan boy but they deserve it.
