The Fortitudes have been setting up and packing down stages from Black Bear Lodge to the Triffid since 2021. In this time, The Fortitudes have amassed a dedicated following - enthralled by relatable storytelling and catchy hooks. Now in their fourth year as a band, The Fortitudes look towards playing the Eastern coastline and recording new music for which the first single, Jacaranda Season, was released in June 2024. 

 

Along the way, many faces have played stages and contributed to the sounds that make up the band; but now with fresh faces, The Fortitudes are looking to expand their sound and explore new ideas to adapt with new influences. The band still consists of Chris Wilkinson (lead vocals and rhythm guitarist) and Cooper Jones (lead guitar). In 2024, the band has since introduced Harry Fogarty (Bass) and Harry Isles (Drums) to the rhythm section finalising the new era of Forti-tunes.
