Armed with a fiercely distinctive sound that feels acerbic, uncompromising and packed full of personality and dynamism, Fourmarks are a band who’s genre-shifting, multi-faceted approach to their work has seen them winning over a plethora of admirers over the last 18 months, holding up a satirical and provocative lens to the world around us in a way that feels reminiscent of UK contemporaries like Enter Shikari.

The grit and intensity of their sound and its forceful message is excellently conveyed on new single ‘Short The Pound’, a scathing look at the systems that dictate our lives, hiding in plain sight and controlling the world around us with a wink, knowing that we’re powerless to do anything to stop it. The explosive and expansive nature of their work does a great job of signalling the band’s aggressive message and how vital and powerful it is, utilising both electronic and alternative sensibilities to create a sound and style that leaves a resonating message, both accessible and hard-hitting in ferocious fashion.
