You’ll wander into Fort Frances to follow their seductive piano Pop that comes with a DIY aesthetic; you’ll stay for the hearty Rock riffs they manage to slip in all over the band’s debut album. Their latest in We Will Stop Time is loaded with plenty of ear-catchiness via Pop-tunes while the Chicago-based band also manages to throw some surprises your way.
Album opener, “Burn This House Down”, is anthemic, the great line ‘Happy Birthday baby, lets burn this house down’ is ripe for a full crowd sing-along. “Be The River” is a solid piano ballad that’s positive and uplifting while one of the aforementioned surprises comes via “Goodbye to the Hard Times”, a cut that offers a solid stoner Rock riff. “Till the Wheels Fall Off” is uber-catchy treading into Jam Band territory thanks to Southern Rock inspired guitar fills. That same slinking guitar introduces “There We Are”, another cut that builds like a stadium Rock cut.
“This May Be as Far as We Can Go” brings back the same slowly moving guitar intro as Fort Frances drop a tender nod to their hometown in “Chicago”. The We Will Stop Time closer, “Let Everything Go”, lays out a load of emotion. This record is both celebratory and sad, an emotional intelligent Pop album that’s anthemic, dramatic, and all around a big presence. Fort Frances have delivered a killer album!.  (by Bryant Liggett)
