We caught up with The Four Fours for the second time this week. After introducing them to you previously via our 'Introducing...' section, Chris, Matt and Rich were up for another chat on the topic of their debut single release, 'Go'. This is how it went down. 

1. How's things been for The Four Fours since we last spoke?

Pretty good! Our debut release of 'Count To Ten' and 'Messing With History' was well received and we are still picking up airplay, both at home in the UK and also in the states, we are really grateful to those stations.

2. You're just about to release your new track, 'Go', tell us a little about this?

It's a song about ending it with someone and wishing that the memories would be wiped away by them leaving. Chris came up with the music a few months ago and demoed it at home, playing all the parts himself. It's not changed a lot since then, Matt added the words and melodies, we tightened it up and rearranged it a little bit, and then recorded it properly. It's quite an interesting piece musically, with lots of jangly chords and an unorthodox timing. There is influences from bands like Cable, The Foo Fighters, and even The Smashing Pumpkins in there.

3. Have you got any plans for a tour in the pipeline at all?

We're thinking about doing some gigs later in the year, maybe just a short run. We'd love to do some gigs around Halloween and really get into the vibe by building a cool set, dressing up and encouraging gig-goers to wear fancy dress too!

4. What's next for The Four Fours?

At the minute we are concentrating on pushing 'Go' ready for its release on September 29th - you can check it out now via SoundCloud. We're about halfway through recording our debut album, we'll be heading back into the studio in October to get a few more songs finished off.

Big thanks to The Four Fours for the interview.
