SINGLE REVIEW; FOUR YEAR STRONG, 'STUCK IN THE MIDDLE'


4****

The first track to be taken from the band's fourth studio album “In Some Way, Shape Or Form”, the single marks their first release since the departure of synth player Josh Lyford. However, despite losing the synthesisers from their sound FYS are still definitely going strong.
“Stuck In The Middle” is characteristic of the band's general style of fast-paced, upbeat pop-rock, blended with hints of post-hardcore every now and then. With a typically catchy chorus it will almost certainly go down a storm live – opening with some quiet guitar and vocals, as soon as the guitars and drums drop, it's a song that will make you want to move.
This track is a classic slice of pop-rock – upbeat, fast, dance-worthy and almost anthemic in places - and indicates that FYS have no intention of slowing down any time soon.
