Simple Forms
Human Impact
Institutions crumble under the weight of political hubris. The environment withers in the face of systemic neglect. Interpersonal relationships fall apart among divisive discourse.
However, friendship endures in spite of all that tragedy and trauma…
The story of Human Impact really begins with the mutual respect and admiration shared by four noise rock pioneers whose paths circled for nearly three decades, yet finally converged in 2018. The quartet—vocalist and guitarist Chris Spencer [Unsane], bassist Chris Pravdica [Swans, Xiu Xiu], keyboardist Jim Coleman [Cop Shoot Cop], and drummer Phil Puleo [Cop Shoot Cop, Swans]—manifest the potential of this union on their 2020 self-titled debut, Human Impact [Ipecac Records].
Underpinned by guitar grind, industrial buzz, and unnervingly catchy vocal transmissions, these ten tracks ebb flow between intense instrumental insurgency and hypnotic harmonies.

Simple Forms Biography
Simple Forms is a dark rock band emerging from the fertile creative milieu of Portland, Oregon. Established by scene veterans from the band Norska, including Aaron Rieseberg (Yob, Norska), his brother Dustin (Norska), Ben Stoller (Dark Numbers), Rob Shaffer (Dark Castle, Into The Moat, Norska, ex-Lord Dying) and Jason Oswald (Norska) the band has crafted a sound that is wholly their own. Simple Forms, drawing influence from such artists as Soundgarden, The Cure, Killing Joke and David Bowie, has a heavy approach that is multi-layered, 90's nostalgic and strangely triumphant.
Decades of friendship between the band members have culminated in a 2022 self-titled EP which was received with general acclaim by the Portland rock and metal community. With this release Simple Forms has garnered fans throughout their local scene, appealing to them with their grungy, heavy rock sound. The band released new singles in 2023 with more to follow soon. Their dynamic and thrilling approach will undoubtedly entrance heavy music listeners.
