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.
Now the band is back with a new singles collection titled \u201cNew Wave Hit Parade\u201d which encompasses all three of the group\u2019s vinyl singles from 1977-1979 as well as The Furys 1987 mini-album \u201cIndoor\/Outdoor\u201d. Also included is The Furys 2016 digital single \u201cThe Sun Ain\u2019t Gonna Shine Anymore\u201d. This is the first ever digital release of the vinyl records.
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.\u00a0
In conjunction with \u201cNew Wave Hit Parade\u201d and upcoming releases of new material, The Furys will be performing live in Autumn 2023. Long standing members, Jeff Wolfe and Dave Lewty will be joined by guitarists Cliff Roman (The Weirdos), Jeff Jourard (The Motels) and Ray Herron (The Sloths) on drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
