Four Hundred Years (also spelled 400 Years) was an American hardcore punk band from Tucson, Arizona, that was active from 1996 to 2001.[1] The band formed following the breakup of Tucson-based political hardcore outfit Groundwork, and later relocated to Richmond, Virginia, soon after.[2] They toured the United States, Europe, and Japan several times often while performing alongside various bands such as Fugazi, Frodus, Sleepytime Trio, and many others.[3] Their sound has been described as "a frenzy of hardcore intensity, built around simultaneously emotional and political themes,"[4] and they ultimately gained a cult following during their short existence as a result.[2]
Four Hundred Years released three EPs (including splits with Sleepytime Trio and Seein' Red), three full-length albums, and a compilation album before disbanding after playing four East Coast shows in 2001. The band's final lineup consisted of Daron Hollowell on guitar and vocals, Dave Jackson on guitar and vocals, Eric Gervasi (of Policy of 3) on bass, and Ash Bruce on drums.[3] After their dissolution, Hollowell and Bruce joined the indie rock band Bats & Mice.[4]
