We Are The Fury returns to Frankies

Toledo-based glam rock band We Are the Fury will be returning to their roots June 18, as the band headlines a show at Frankies Inner City.

The band formed in 2004 by Toledo natives, and they’ve toured across the country and Canada with artists such as Jack’s Mannequin, Silverchair and Head Automatica. They performed at the Vans Warped Tour in 2006. They were proclaimed as an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone, a prestigious honor also given to bands such as Kings of Leon and The White Stripes, back in 2007.

The band relocated from Ohio and permanently moved to Los Angeles in hopes to broaden their careers and branch out both their music and fan base in 2008. They are currently unsigned, but are working to produce new music and sounds.

Currently, We Are the Fury is playing shows across California at local venues, as well as performing fly out shows and at many college parties and events. They are working to get their music out and are hoping to prove that rock and roll isn’t dead, and that hard work will expectantly pay off for the band. The band strives to create a unique and enjoyable sound, which it hopes will help add on to their success. However, the band doesn’t have one distinctive sound, as they strive to appeal to music lovers of all genres.

Their music has been compared to acts such as David Bowie and Queen, as well as more recent artists such as The Bravery. We Are The Fury has been well received by many entertainment sources, including. Entertainment Weekly which stated, “unhinged vocals and rampaging distortion run amok on this scorcher… think Guns N’ Roses-meets Bowie-meets reckless abandon.”

Current members of the band include Jeremy Lublin, Christopher Hatfield, Alan Hoffar, Stephan Lublin and Brady Leffler. We Are the Fury has released two albums; “The Fury” in 2005, and “Venus” in 2007. The first album was critically acclaimed and well received, but the band commented that their second album fully realizes and blends each member’s individual sound to create a unique musical experience.

“It’s definitely influenced by acts like David Bowie, Roxy Music and Queen,” Lublin admits, “but it has a modern twist to it; we’re not trying to recreate anything.”

We Are the Fury has a loyal fan base, particularly in the Toledo region, and sold over 25,000 albums throughout their career.

They also amassed thousands of fans throughout social media sites including MySpace, Facebook, and Pure Volume. The band has been praised for their upbeat, energetic shows.

We Are the Fury will continue strengthening their Toledo ties June 18, when they perform at Frankies. The show begins at 9, and features We Are the Fury as well as Tropic Bombs, Mindfish and The Strong Talk.

Tickets are $8 in advance, and can be purchased at outlets including Ticketmaster, Culture Clash and Ramalama Records. Tickets will also be available for $10 the night of the show.
