Features: Your Questions First: Four Year Strong

Vomiting and pooing in a sousaphone, Four Year Strong answer your questions in the new issue of Rock Sound, check out an exclusive excerpt...

Last month we wanted your questions for pop punk quintet Four Year Strong. You gave em, we asked em and below is an excerpt of what we got back.

Be warned: this isn't for the faint hearted...

Where's the strangest place you've ever thrown up?
Jessica Morris, Kent
Josh: “I’ve got this one won. St Patrick’s Day a couple of years ago, on Spring Break in south Florida. We were getting pretty loose. So there I was, pissing underneath the bar – I’m not normally that guy but I was very much that guy that night, almost got beat up by a bunch of people but it didn’t happen – so long story short, there were these strippers…I don’t know why I said long story short and then introduced all these strippers…and I think one of them was watching the door and dancing half-naked. I came over, laughing hysterically at something and just started puking in the basket next to her.”
Alan: “You know what I think is weird? I’ve never thrown up anywhere that isn’t a toilet. And the only time I’ve thrown up in a toilet that wasn’t my own was in Canada.”
Dan: “Wasn’t that when you were puking into your own shit?”
Alan: “Yu-huh.”
Jake: “I won an award for puking once.”

Did any of you have music lessons when you were younger?
Taylor Doughty, Plainville
Joe: “I took piano lessons for a week and hated it.”
Dan: “When I was in grammar school we had recorder lessons, and everyone played recorder for like a week.”
Alan: “[Quietly] I shat in a sousaphone.”
Josh: “[Oblivious to Alan] I had flute lessons.”
Dan: “You played the flute? The skin flute?”
Josh: “And I continue to do so.”
Joe: “Alan’s got a better story.”
Alan: “[Slightly louder] I shat in a sousaphone.”
RS: “A sousaphone?!”
Joe: “Yeah, one of the big tubas that wrap around you.”
RS: “We know what a sousaphone is, we’re just in shock.”
Alan: “Man, who shits in toilets when you’ve got a sousaphone right there? It was my school’s, and no one was playing it at the time. Best part was two years later, when someone comes running up to me and says, ‘Mr Fay was dragging the sousaphone out of the auditorium and a wad of poop fell out of it!’ I was like, ‘You don’t say…’ And if I had time control I’d go back and… do it once a day, because now I know that sousaphone wouldn’t be moved for two more years! Either that or shit in everyone’s locker, so when they open them at the same time between class a load of poop just rolls out.”
Joe: “Or you could just go and shit in other people’s pants.”
