Four By Four

Directions:

Four-part harmony has been a standard four a long time--from our fourfathers on down--and it will probably be that way fourever. Not surprisingly, then, there have been a fourspent number of pop groups with "Four" in their names.

This quiz features four such groups. Four each of them, four clues are given: a Place-Of-Origin clue, a Lead-Vocalist clue, a Name clue, and a Hit clue. It may take a little fourthought to name them all, but I foursee that you may be fourtunate enough to do a fourmidable job. (Although that may not be a fourgone conclusion.)

The grid that follows contains the answers, as well as several other names that contain "four" or a sound-alike syllable. Four instance, "Tears For Fears" would appear in the fourm "TEARS4FEARS". How many can you find?
