Demos by Fort Revere

These demos are just some of the demos that were recorded throughout the summer of 2021. Jack Downey got the inspiration for the project at the end of May, and in order to capture the ethos of what he was envisioning, he made some primitive recordings in his room and garage. Now they're out in the world to show everyone what Fort Revere has to offer!

Some of the inspirations for this project include Beat Happening, Beach Fossils, The Drums, Seapony, The Shop Assistants, The Beach Boys, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. In other words, pop sensibilities meet indie rock/garage rock instrumentation. The lyrics are summer-inflected depictions of broken hearts, relaxation, and, on a more serious note, conversations with people dealing with depression. All songs were written by Jack Downey during those summer months.

These demos offer just a glimpse of what Fort Revere can bring to the table, but even as first drafts, they have a certain charm to them that makes them stand out as the soundtrack for summer dreams, no matter who you are.

Thank you, and we hope you enjoy!

We're a surf rock/indie pop band based in Providence! Founded by Jack Downey in May 2021.
