"Step Into My World" Video - Coming Soon...

Exciting FTA update - Just shot a performance promo clip for "Step Into My World" in our rehearsal space in the infamous NYC Music Building. 

Special thanks go out to director extraordinaire Dustin Waldman and assistant Matt Clegg for capturing the energy and vibe of FOUR TRIPS AHEAD in our home. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the video premiere coming in mid-September.

Here are some behind the scenes shots.

Tammany Hall Show - July 25th 2014

July 25th 2014, Tammany Hall, NYC - after months of recording, we performed live to launch our latest EP, "Love And Rebellion".

A BIG "thank you" to all of you who came out to Tammany Hall.  Despite the tiny stage, big cheers came from you all, making it a special night. Our new drummer, Ken Candelas, was welcomed with open arms and baptized by fire--moving bass drums be damned. 

For those of you who missed it, check out the fan videos that have been posted for "There's a Time" and "Good Times Goodbye".

Here a couple of shots from that show - and don't fret, we're planning some more gigs for this Fall 2014. More FTA news to come. Stay tuned...

 

NEW FTA Love and Rebellion EP OUT on Tuesday, May 27, 2014!

FTA Family--it's finally here!  We are extremely pleased to announce the official digital release of the new FOUR TRIPS AHEAD EP,  "Love and Rebellion" on Tuesday, May 27, 2014!

The past 14 months or so have seen us practically living in our rehearsal space writing and developing songs, playing memorable shows and tracking at Spin Recording Studios in NYC.  Though we faced many potentially challenging situations along the way, we succeeded in completing what we feel is our strongest, most cohesive work to date.  More importantly, we didn't compromise our artistic integrity and became a stronger unit.  No easy feat, we might add.  Just as exciting was getting one of our songs, "Run to You", mixed by the talented Nik Chinboukas (Testament, Alex Skolnick Trio, Acrassicauda, Chris Caffery) and the entire EP mastered by the legendary Roger Lian (Rush, Muse, Slayer, Coheed and Cambria), a true gentleman.  The artwork was realized by the creative genius that is Ken Candelas, who was pestered mercilessly by Peter while designing our album cover. "Love and Rebellion" is the culmination of a highly creative and fulfilling period that we are so excited to share with you.

In the meantime, we ask our fans in Europe and the rest of the world where quality hard rock/metal magazines are sold to seek out Fireworks UK's latest issue #64--FOUR TRIPS AHEAD are featured in the new music section with "Good Times Goodbye", a song from our upcoming release, on the sampler.  And stay tuned for announcements of upcoming live dates, a new lyric video for our new single, "Step Into My World", and other exciting news.
