NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF THIS WEEKEND
FAILED ENTERTAINMENT OUT NOW ON
RUN FOR COVER
FURY, who released one of the year's most compelling, sharp and dynamic rock records last month have just debuted their new video, " Angels Over Berlin" via Revolver.
Director Mario Escoto filmed it on 16mm Kodak Double X black & white film in Orlando. FURY frontman Jeremy Stith explains, "We talked about people like Agnes Varda, Yasujirō Ozu, Allison Anders, Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch along with the 80's No Wave Cinema movement in NYC. We talked about films like Metropolis and Subway Riders, Border Radio and Night Of The Hunter, as well as music videos like REM's 'Man On The Moon' and all those old Sub Pop Network Program VHS videos. Exploring the ever-familiar and ubiquitous realm of loneliness and self-exploration, Mario came up with a story about a guy on a journey for a trumpet and the eclectic characters he meets on the way, The Angel, The Salesman and The Sleazeball. With the help of cinematographer Nicholas Inman and a brilliant crew, he was able to bring these characters to life.
"gruff, guttural, and ferocious" PITCHFORK
"Fury Finds Inspiration in Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard" TALKHOUSE
"Failed Entertainment threads that needle between a classic youth-crew sound and the elasticity of early-'90s Sub Pop releases - all without diminishing the band's attack." THE FADER ( Read the interview)
"Fury have cemented themselves as some of the smartest songwriters in their lane" REVOLVER ( Read the interview)
"songwriting that honors the past as much as it challenges it" BANDCAMP
"shows just how much its creative ambitions have grown...While Fury's foundation remains, the band brings in chunkier, groove-oriented riffs, the kind that bring to mind the likes of Refused" AV CLUB
"gritty, torrential...Fury play a style of hardcore that's spare, raw, and unvarnished, but is built of uniformly gripping performances, via which the music takes truly unexpected turns into vast melodic expanses" STEREOGUM
"a clear step forward for Fury, and the most accessible thing they've done yet"
BROOKLYN VEGAN
"The band's fiery, existential new song grapples with free will and the inevitable passage of time as frontman Jeremy Stith's seething musings hinge on both the depressing and witty" PASTE
"has an old-school Black Flag-like vibe" CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
"Fury have an honesty to their sound that lots of hardcore bands dream of... the band channels acts like Lard and Rollins Band, providing an old-school vibe that most bands repping 'old-school hardcore' don't quite get." KERRANG!
FURY have established themselves quickly. They built on the melodic legacy of Orange County by way of heavy, rhythmic, start-stop guitars and frontman, Jeremy Stith's wordy, referential and poetic lyrics. Failed Entertainment (available now on Run For Cover) is FURY's take on the human experience, an attempt to describe every person's life and how it interacts with others through unmatched highs, desperate lows and mundane middles. The album was recorded by Colin Knight and their own guitarist Madison Woodward at
Paradise Records, in Anaheim, CA. This time, the band sought new surroundings and outside expertise, collaborating with engineer Andrew Oswald at Secret Bathroom Studios, mixing engineer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Soundgarden) and Parquet Courts' Andrew Savage. The new batch of songs shows growth in all directions: the slow parts more brooding, the melodies catchier, the lyrics out even further on the limb.
FURY kick off their North American tour over the weekend. Highlights include Chicago, Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, Toronto, Texas and a record release show in Santa Ana with Sheer Mag and Ceremony just before LA's Sound & Fury Fest in July. Full dates listed below.
