Episode 151: Forty Foot

Today's guest on the podcast is Mark and Keith of the band Forty Foot to chat about the bands latest EP, Body Breaking, which was released on the 7th of February, One of Dublin’s finest and loudest alt rock prospects, Forty Foot, release their largest body of work to date, their debut EP ‘Body Breaking’. The release comes following the success of their two 2024 singles ‘Toothache’ and ‘Constellation’ which caught the attention of Golden Plec, Hot Press, First Music Contact, Rock N Load, Genuine Irish, The Beat.ie, IMRO and Ragged Cast, with radio play from Code Zero Radio and New Music Sonar.  The production on the EP is massive and powerful but doesn’t lack nuance. Each sound, each instrument, given its own space and plays a significant part in creating their sound. The tracks conjure a feeling and a sense that the band are right there, in the room with you, with each chord you can almost feel the air the speakers move. To capture their sound and bottle this feeling the band made the decision to record in their own rehearsal space. Turning to long-time collaborator Conor McLoughlin of Dublin rock sweethearts Sick Love to engineer and mix the EP, it was paramount to the band that it was imbued with the energy of their space.
