Four Stars is a pop punk band that I wish I discovered much sooner. I was introduced to this band through their song “Worth It.” Their angsty sound pulled me right in; the riffing guitars, pounding drums, and melodic vocal lines. The band cleverly combines elements of pop punk and emo from the early 2000’s. The lyrics of the song stray away from the typical pop punk self-pitying attitude but are empowering instead. The song has a positive message to them that everyone could use. The lyrics go: “I’m worth it…There’s more to me than what is on the surface.” Four Stars is based in Chicago.
