We’ll Burn That Bridge When We get To It | EP | 2021 |
Citing Caspian and Sleepmakeswaves as major influences, FORT take to the skies with their reverb drenched guitars and driving basslines. Primarily instrumental, FORT manages to capture a sense of raw emotion, creating soundscapes that take the listener on a cinematic and sometimes primal adventure combining syncopation and alternating time signatures. Soaring crescendos and heavy riffs, with an active and immersive live show, FORT are not to be missed.
The band have established a loyal local following which is now spreading across the U.K. - having played alongside such math and post rock bands as PG.Lost, Poly Math, El Moono, False Hope for the Savage, Bi-Curious, Trigger Thumb, Invalids (US) and Floral (US) - they continue to pick up fans and hone their craft as an impressive live act.
With their second EP 'Once All is Said and Done, We Still Draw Breath' having been self released in May of 2023, the band embarked on a string of UK headline dates and high level support slots and small festival dates to support the release. They have received national radio play and have received Spotify Editorial playlisting for two of their newest releases.
With 2024 already including a post metal all day festival in London in January and a string of dates with the likes of Hidden Mothers, COPSE, Pijn, Din of Celestial Birds and Ranges (US), a summer EP release before playing ArcTanGent Festival and a headline run in October 2024.
All this before they release their first full length record in 2025.
PRESS
‘FORT have motivated themselves to face more heavier sounds, infusing aggressive elements to play into the darker ambiance whilst still projecting affection through the almighty waves.’ Circuit Sweet, on FORT’s second EP
‘There are lush moments akin to Explosions In The Sky’s most serene moments, crushing post-metal breakdowns and intricate math-rock complexities. Drawn in from the street to be hit with a great band, that feel like they could get better, is exactly what a festival should offer.’
Under The Radar Magazine, reporting from Focus Wales
"The sound of FORT encapsulating both bliss and punishment into 28 spellbinding minutes. Despite its immensely broad scope and shifting tones, here FORT have managed to coalesce a plethora of motifs into one fluidly concise and wonderfully cohesive body of work." Noizze
‘Exquisite noise . . . very very good’ - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales
