Four Year Bender

Four Year Bender’s brand of country fried rock n roll was a mainstay on the Bay Area scene for well over a decade. Their debut album, “Lucky” garnered critical acclaim as well National airplay, but it was the live shows that made them legends.

Led by songwriter, Ryan Smith, the Bender expertly walked the line between earnest, quality song-craft, and raucous rock n’ roll debauchery. There was a little bit of something for everyone at a Four Year Bender show, and it was all excellent.

After an extended, and drama-filled hiatus, the original band has jumped back into the studio and recorded a new full-length album entitled “Gettin’ Gone”, slated for release in the Spring of 2019. This eagerly-awaited follow up revisits Four Year Bender’s specialty for catchy, melodic tunes about the beautiful weirdness that is modern life. Recorded in 5 days while the band was holed-up in a remote studio in Stinson Beach California, it sounds like old friends that have been through the wringer and lived to smile about it.
