fortress: Rock Band in New York

About fortress

fortress is a Rock/Pop group active on New York City bills, including performances at Wonderville. They’ve shared lineups with wujeria, Vangas, and Daysies, appearing in mixed-genre nights that place groove-driven hip-hop/R&B and free-form ensemble playing in the same room. In that context, fortress tends to work with direct song structures and a band-first setup rather than theatrics. The name also echoes a longer pop lineage, recalling Sting’s mid-1980s “Fortress Around Your Heart,” though the project’s identity is rooted in the local circuit.
