Four Year Strong release explosive Bitter Sweet Symphony cover

Ahead of their return to the road on the Pure Noise Tour in the U.S. later this month, Four Year Strong have dropped a new cover.

The New England rock crew have tackled The Verve's classic Bitter Sweet Symphony, with Dan O'Conner explaining of the choice: "We’ve always loved the song Bitter Sweet Symphony, it holds a lot of nostalgia for me. Makes me think of being 12 thinking I was cool, which I was not. Everything about the song is great, the melody, the hook, the beat, and the string part. They all live rent free in my brain.

"Being able to create something that feels like FYS and having great foundations to start with was very fun."

Hell yeah. Check out the cover below:
