About Me |
|
| Over 18 months in the making and involving several studios, bedrooms, two engineers, two mastering suites and lots of raised voices and veiled threats, Forts second full length cd was released on September 1st 2007. Featuring some of the face-tearing guitaring, powerhouse rhythms and rolling grooves the Byron Bay band have become renowned for. The self-titled cd also showcases the bands dynamic songwriting flair, including guest vocals by Norweigan electro pop princess Annie Lilia Berge Strand. Based in Byron Bay, on the east coast of Australia, Fort has been around since early 2000. With five releases under their studded belt and a history of rocking venues throughout the country, Fort has toured with the likes of Grinspoon, Clutch, FuManchu, Nebula, Brant Bjork and the Bro's, the Datsuns and the Black Keys to name a few. Rolling Stone Magazine - Fort hark back to the not too distant past when guitars were played by men unafraid to grow facial hair, who delivered heavy arse riffs like their lives depended on it. Serving up a brew of Kyuss-styled psychedelia and no-nonsense AC/DC fashioned riffing, set against a backbone of crashing cymbals and a pace far too strenuous for those weened on rock 'lite'". Herald Sun - Sydney - Not since AC/DC and Rose Tattoo has Australia had a rock 'n' roll outfit that kicks out the jams as loudly and as proudly as Fort. With its powerful Black Sabbath - inspired sound, Fort delivers an exciting aural onslaught that is comparable to that of such rock heavyweights Monster Magnet and Clutch. The bands sonic heaviness is accentuated by its preference for mid-tempo grinding rhythms and chugging guitar riffs. Vocalist Andy Walker struts out the albums mystical lyrics with a charisma that lies somewhere between that of Glenn Danzig and Ian Astbury."
