Genre: Powerpop
The birth of The FORZ was as cosmic as their sound. In June 2012, guitarist and songwriter duo Cole Tyler and Anthony Graziano first met and discussed ideas for a band that would encompass their biggest fascination: the music, look, and style of bands like The Zombies and The Beatles. With Ryan Hottenrott on drums, Dave Gambon on bass, and all four sharing lead vocal duties, the new and most genuine rock ’n’ roll band in all of Massachusetts was born.
The FORZ is a four piece, power pop combo from Boston, MA. They are known for their high energy performances, catchy original songs, and vintage- yet-refreshing rock sound. The recording of their second album comes after three years of working the Massachusetts music scene; including performances at top Boston venues such as The Middle East, Church, Ryle’s Jazz Club, & Johnny D’s.
They’ve played powerful shows in New York (Hidden Volume Record’s Field Trip and Yeah! Hop Festival), Rhode Island, Maine, and New Hampshire (Keene Music Festival). Their music has even traveled overseas, with reviews and airplay on 3MDR Australian Radio, The Music Authority, and Ice Cream Man Power Pop, which chose their debut album ‘Album of the Week’ in 2014. The band has given interviews and performances on 95.9 WATD FM, WEMF Cambridge, WFMO, and an interview in Metronome Magazine (Sep. 2014). They were chosen as a Top 60 Independent Band by FORKSTER’s Band Review and received a fantastic review from Alan Haber’s Pure Pop Radio.
What is most important about The FORZ is their sound. With most of their music being written by Cole Tyler and Anthony Graziano, The FORZ’ debut album consists of 15 original songs. Stand out tunes are “Something New”, “What Can I Say?”, “In My Mind”. Their most recent single “Julie (You’re So Sweet)” was released in December of 2015. Some notable covers included “Psychotic Reaction” by The Count Five, “Open My Eyes”” by The Nazz, “A Shot of Rhythm and Blues” and many more. With passionate performances and an entrancing show, The FORZwill, as one of their songs proclaims, give you a ‘taste of something new’ and always keep you coming back for more.”,”The FORZ’ second album; “”Running From The Past”” will be released on June 24th, 2016!
