Alan Day, co-frontperson of Four Year Strong, tells me about being bad at social media, hard times around 'In Some Way, Shape, Or Form' leading to their year off, in which time he and his wife sew the seeds (sorry) of the idea of their now fully-operating Christmas tree & flower farm. Plus how the band got back on their feet and created their favourite album yet, Brain Pain.
