History

edit

P.O.S and Astronautalis first met on the Warped Tour in 2004.[3] Subsequently, the two started working together in secret as Four Fists.[4] The group's name derives from one of the short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald.[5] In the 2000s, the two appeared on each other's albums: Astronautalis' 2008 album Pomegranate ("The Story of My Life") and P.O.S's 2009 album Never Better ("Handmade Handgun").[6][7]

In 2011, Four Fists made its debut live performance in Austin, Texas.[8] In 2013, the duo released a single, "Mmmmmhmmmmm" b/w "Please Go", on Doomtree Records.[9] The duo's first studio album, 6666, was released on Doomtree Records in 2018.[10]
