Fortiez – “Easily Done”
Fortiez – “Easily Done” – The newest release from the Fortiez has less of a ska/punk sound and is a lot more of a fundamental punk sound with the influence of Ska found in the upstrokes of the guitar play. Unlike many bands Fortiez seem to get faster with each release “Easily Done” is an explosion of energy and fury from the 1st second you turn it on until the final second of this 11 track, 29.12 speed ball. Vocally the singer has a unique voice that has a frantic ska/punk approach that compliments the higher-pitched upstroke of the guitar. The bass is powerful and bouncy and compliments the bombastic style of their incredible drummer. You can feel the full emotion and energy that is exerted on every track and leaves you gasping for air and mentally drained after listening to “Easily Done”. The songs that really stand out as exceptional to me are; “Shopping Trip” (Mind numbingly fast, but mentally comprehensible at the same time) & “20+” (Combines an intense combination of higher pitched lead vocals with complimentary low toned back vocals and a stop and go style of rhyme that gets your blood pumping double time). Other notable 5 star songs are; “Not here to get bored” & “Holyland”, but instead of going over how great each song is individually, buy this great high powered CD and find out for yourself how lively and intense Fortiez – “Easily Done” is.
