ABOUT

The release of Endless Night in late 2018 is a encapsulation of Fornis’ expansion into
more experimentally progressive music: darker, edgier, and extra conceptual, the
sophomore album got immediate play on college and independent radio stations

throughout the nation, with east coast listeners taking a special interest in the
enigmatic quartet from a small town on the way to ski resorts in Northern California.

The following year found Fornis with a new drummer, local stick man Rob Bingham
formerly of Pittman’s old band Pruno. Rob’s “high and tight” technical drumming style fit right in with the new material the band was recording for their 2020 release, PlasticFace, which also housed a handful of re-recorded older tracks, all of which they continued to play throughout the Bay Area, Sacramento, Reno, and beyond.

2021 saw two more singles for Fornis, “Wake Up” and “Showing You How” and as the
year turned the corner into 2022 the band was met with the departure of Bingham, his
replacement being an Alesis SR16 drum machine manned by ROLO live. With catchy,
twangy, bouncy tunes that are lilted with glam rock and marbled with Jerry Lee Lewis
style rock n’ roll, “power punk” is the way they prefer to describe their sound in 2022,
coining the eponymous hashtag during the pandemic for the release of single “Don’t
Mean Mug Me”.

On February 4, 2023 Fornis released their latest EP "Tickled By Flies" and is now booking shows around Auburn, Sacramento, Reno, and beyond.

In February 2024, Fornis enlisted the drumming skills of local musician Dustin Burton and brought soundman/producer Dillon McGillicuddy in to play bass guitar, and while losing Key Dragon to his self titled pet project, Fornis rounded out the production of a stronger, more substantive live sound in time for the summer surge of shows around Northern California. A new album has been released consisting of many new tracks, a couple of previous songs re released, a shelved track from 2020, and a few surprise covers totally Fornisized!!
