Four-star Alarm is a Chicago-born indie punk project rooted in the mid-2000s Chicago scene, led by Theodore Moss with contributions from Los Angeles–area affiliates and members linked to Noise By Numbers, The Bomb, and The Reputation. Active primarily between 2004 and 2008, this outfit is known for a sharp blend of punk hooks, melodic aggression, and a tight, DIY-spirited approach. The band’s core trajectory centers on strong vocal lines, urgent guitar work, and a commitment to releasing music that captures a moment in Chicago’s underground scene. While recent activity leans archival with reissues, Four-star Alarm remains a meaningful node in the wider indie punk network, regularly surfaced by fans on Bandcamp and streaming services.
