Taproot, Sevendust, Alice in Chains, Mike Patton, Incubus, Four Star Youth sprang to life in March of 2006 as a side project for guitarist Joshua Buma and bassist Bill Gower, however it was quickly clear that the music they were creating was far too good to simply be dismissed as an occasional indulgence. Steve Pedersen soon found his way into their Sherman Oaks studio, and he provided the voice that fit perfectly in line with the hard hitting yet melodic sound. Lonnie Miller soon joined as their drummer in May and the band played their first show in June. Extensive recording soon followed, and Four Star Youth's music is already captivating people nationwide. In October, FSY was happy to announce that Mike Bartak has joined the band as the second guitar player. Look for Four Star Youth at a venue near you
