Fourmarks is back with their new single "Short The Pound," which doesn't waste any time reminding listeners why the band has been getting a lot of attention in the last 18 months. The group is known for their unique sound, which thrives on sharp edges, bold choices, and a refusal to fit neatly into any one genre. They once again deliver something that feels both urgent and unmistakably their own.
“Short The Pound” barrels forward with an acerbic energy that sets the tone for its satirical and confrontational message. Fourmarks hold up a challenging lens to the systems that run our daily lives, those forces that are always there but we don't see them, shaping the world with a quiet smirk, sure that we can't do anything about it. The band is able to combine aggression with accessibility, mixing electronic sounds with alternative determination in a way that makes the song's harsh core even stronger.
One of the best things about the track is how dynamic it is. There are moments that expand, contract, and ricochet with perfect timing, which gives the band's message even more power. Fourmarks, like other UK bands that defy genre and make pointed social commentary, use their unpredictable sound to make an impact. The changes in tone and texture aren't just for style, they're also narrative tools that make the point that the systems the song criticises are chaotic, manipulative, and always changing.
