Formerly – ‘Anytime, Anywhere’ Premiere
Posted: by Sean Gonzalez
Combining a pit of punk laced roots with folk is Portland, Oregon’s Formerly. Benjamin Smith leads the assault of acoustic guitars, and takes poeticism to a new level. His voice passionately cries out at the listener. The choruses are meaty hooks filled with communicable lyrics that are attached to rough around the edge melodies — full of strained harmonies and well paced rhythms. Below is the stream for ‘Anytime, Anywhere’ which will be included on their upcoming release From The Soapbox, With Shame out on Honest Face Records May 4th.
