Artist History "Even now Four eviscerates the local masses."; The Houston Press "The alternative metal band that surpasses some of the most esteemed national acts..."; The Daily Cougar FOUR has had three songs licensed by MTV’s "Making The Video" show and is currently played on many radio stations throughout the world. FOUR is an original Alternative Metal band from Houston, Texas. Founded in 1997 they're setting standards for new heavy music blending atmospheric moods and raging outburst. Made up of Keith Bracewell (22) on vocals, Mike Haseman (27) on Guitars, Carl Toler (25) on bass and Jason Pettit (28) on drums, FOUR brings a new, heavy, low end sound that does not follow most trends. With a 19 song all original set list, FOUR currently has one of the bigger followings in Houston’s local music scene consistently packing local venues such as Fitzgerald’s and the Engine Room. FOUR has amassed over 55,000 plays and downloads on Mp3.com with numerous number one songs in the Alternative Metal charts. In 1999 FOUR released a self titled 5 song CD which sold out of the first pressing. It received great reviews and has sold all over the world through Mp3.com. Now their second release, which is a full length CD titled "Eliminate The Masses," has received amazing reviews from "The Houston Press," "Texas Access Magazine" and "The Edge Magazine" to name a few. The latest CD is being distributed by The Orchard on and offline. FOUR is now managed by RDM Management and is currently being introduced to many of the major labels. FOUR defines new extreme music, and does NOT regurgitate the same shit!

Press Reviews "Its a kick-ass CD,establishing FOUR as one of Houston's most promising metal bands!",HOUSTON HARDCORE MAGAZINE "I haven’t found a band that can do what Nothingface does until I heard of a band from Houston Texas that goes by the name of FOUR. Self Entrapment (the second track off their album "Eliminate The Masses" is a great hardcore tune. When you hear the drumming and guitar you’ll think there is a war going on out side. The vocalist sings mellow most of the time but really knows when and how to rip it up. By hearing the CD I know that FOUR can put on a kick ass hardcore show. You guys must check out the band and get a hold of this fantastic album. " "www.unrestrained.net"
