Punk legends The Furys are back with a new album \u201cThe Furys Again\u201d which will be released in all formats on October 8, 2021. The Furys are one of Southern California\u2019s first New Wave\/Punk\/Powerpop bands!
The group\u2019s first single was released in 1977 (\u201cHey Ma\u201d b\/w \u201cJim Stark Dark\u201d), and 1978\u2019s \u201cSay Goodbye to the Black Sheep\u201d was an international success, garnering extensive airplay, press, and live performances. According to founding member and lead vocalist Jeff Wolfe, \u201cThe Furys formed in 1977 as a reaction to the dreadful noise that was on the radio at that time.\u201d 1979 saw the release of the \u201cMoving Target\u201d \/ \u201cWe Talk We Dance\u201d single which elicited substantial critical response.\u00a0
The Furys released a five-song mini album entitled \u201cIndoor\/Outdoor\u201d in 1987. Recorded at EMI\/America studio in Hollywood, \u201cIndoor\/Outdoor\u201d had an excellent sales run, huge radio response and heavy press coverage.
The band\u2019s new singles (\u201cNew Wave Girl\u201d and \u201cAction Reaction\u201d) were released the second week of September 2021. These songs are the first new material issued by the band since 2015\u2019s \u201cThe Sound of the Furys\u201d CD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conjunction with the release of \u201cThe Furys Again\u201d album, a reissue program will occur concurrently containing all three singles as mentioned above plus the \u201cIndoor\/Outdoor\u201d mini album. These reissues will be the first time these pivotal tracks have been issued digitally.\u00a0
Says Jeff Wolfe, \u201cAfter numerous multi-generational requests, The Furys have been reformed to continue their campaign for world domination.\u201d
The musical direction of The Furys was, is, and always will be melodic poetry blended with powerful music. The group\u2019s latest release \u201cThe Furys Again\u201d proves, yet again, that this philosophy holds true. Founding member and lead singer Jeff Wolfe provides the poetry. Long standing Furys member and multi-instrumentalist Dave Lewty provides the music.
This new album was recorded wholly in Lewty\u2019s home studio with songs written by the duo. Wolfe and Lewty have enough compositions for three more Furys albums plus dozens more in various genres, including some not yet defined.\u00a0\u00a0
The songs themselves reflect culture, art, literature and, indeed, life in the 21st century. \u201cMiss Havisham Regrets\u201d is based upon the Dickensian character from \u201cGreat Expectations\u201d. \u201cPlease Mister Kafka\u201d is homage to the brilliant surrealist author Franz Kafka. \u201cAfraid\u201d is a powerful look at the BLM movement and the causes for its existence. Others (\u201cI Gotta Grow Up\u201d, \u201cGlitter Bomb\u201d, \u201cWorthy\u201d) are reflections on life in an advanced age. Some (\u201cAnna, Come Home\u201d, \u201cNew Wave Girl\u201d) are simply catchy rock\/pop songs about great women.\u00a0
The Furys are entering their fifth decade of performing and recording; their latest album, \u201cThe Furys Again\u201d keeps the original tradition alive whilst acknowledging contemporary influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
