4saken are a duo based in Liverpool England and have been working, performing and recording together for almost six years. The duo have only recently gone by the name 4saken after being in an urban music collective and deciding to part from them and become a duo. Supporting such megastars as Dru Hill and Sisqo, these two young men are destined for big things in the music industry. 4saken have performed to crowds of thousand s at such five star venues as : The Liverpool Summer Pops, The Liverpool academy, The Virgin Cola Festival in Manchester’s Castlefield and at numerous large scale festivals in Liverpool’s princess park. The full scale support these two have from their community and fan base is unbelievable and their reputation for being the best unsigned act in Liverpool is surely close to being the truth. Scheduled to play at the biggest concert in Liverpool in August 2006, The Matthew St. Festival, the stage is set for total domination by this amazing double act.
Look out for 4saken, their time has come!

Band History:
In the begining there was a hip hop/grime group called Timber Troublez Clique (TTC).
TTC was a group of lads from manchester, liverpool and birmingham aged between 8 and 13, who created music on their own with no help from adults whatsoever.
TTC started out doing shows in local events and dry bar events slowly but surely getting a good reputation.
But When a member of TTC left, the group felt they had acomplished all they could as TTC and decide to take a new direction...
And Alas... MaxPain UK was created.
MaxPain UK had 4 of the 5 original members of TTC and created a new line up adding a female mc and a male rapper/mc.
MaxPain UK were creating a buzz on the underground music scene in liverpool but differences within the group resulted in the female mc leaving for good.
Down to 5, MaxPain UK continued with their work, but with some members not wanting to put in the full work effort needed, Trooper and Game C decided to become a duo named...
