When 4 Blokes from Maidenhead in England found each other in school it was kismet. The Furze… were born. Inspired by those who pioneered before them… The Furze transformed their collective influences along with their own original offerings to create a sound impossible to pigeonhole.  This band will blow you away with their hard earned reputation for eclectic edgy creativity and an unforgettable style that has earned them the accolade of “…One of our most effervescent pop bands…’Stealin’ Beats’ sets camp midway between Air and The Strokes, knocks out a fizzy pyjama party pop masterpiece”  NME. A testament to why The Furze repeatedly transform bystanders into hardcore fans, and it was The Furze infamous live sound that ignited what was to follow…

“The sound fluctuates between sheer venom spitting rock to the more subdued morning after, lazy day anthems. spine tingling, awe inspiring, that’s-exactly-how-I-feel music.” (’04)

Then known by another name, the four that is the The Furze released GOLD DUST NOISE (’02).  A collaboration with Ignition Records (Oasis and Mercury Rev), and producer Jim Abbiss (Bjork, Sneaker Pimps, U.N.K.L.E., DJ Shadow, Kasabian). The early release E.P. “STEALIN BEATS”,  was acclaimed by Radio One and NME as “Single of the week”… a force to be reckoned with.

Toured endlessly in the U.K playing along side a huge variety of acts from early Aqualung, Feeder and Kaiser Chiefs to The Darkness as well as playing many festivals and headline sets affirming them as “one of the best live acts on the scene” Sir Bob Geldof.   The next step was a short tour in California … beginning with a charity gig at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and wrapping up in L.A. by headlining at the famed Troubadour and dropping in to support the late legendary Elliot Smith. As well as numerous guest appearances, other projects have found them writing the sound tracks for films ‘Happily Even After  by San Franciscan moviemaker, Unsu Lee.
