Foemen

Layered, bombastic synths lead out the new single from Australian electro-pop band Foemen.  Addressing the fear and frustration of insecurity, “Interfear” also features some strong guitar riffs and focused vocals that recall Depeche Mode.  As the track winds down, wailing guitar noises punctuate the underlying melancholy.  While brief, the tune powerfully reminds one of their brilliant release from last year, Detritus City.

Australian band Foemen germinated out of an 18 month exploration of the US and Europe in 2014/2015. Initially starting off as a party of two, they were influenced by the violent histories of the countries they visited.  Another influence was their mutual love of electronic, pop and rock. Foemen, an old English term for an enemy in war, released their first album in 2016, Detritus City with the help of Sydney producer and long-time friend, Dave Hammer  Teaming back up with Hammer for “Interfear”, Brendy Cann & Dave Hammer continued their songwriting focused on layered and intricate sounds.  In order to deliver a live show of face-melting euphoria, Foemen have since grown into a full 5 piece band.  They now reside in Newcastle. They are currently honing in on their live performance, recently playing shows with The Preatures and The Owls.
