The Furors are a two-man band doing the work of at least one and a half men. Based in Hamden, CT, they've been peddling their peculiar brand of melodic mayhem for longer than most house plants survive. Armed with electric guitar and drums (egad!) and more enthusiasm than technical training, Derek and Tom specialize in catchy songs that sound like they might fall apart at any moment - but somehow don't. They've been described as "criminally underrated" and "noisy, but in a good way" - mostly by their friends. Whether it's a cowboy ballad or a musical tantrum, the Furors promise to play it like it matters. They are perfect for fans of vintage pop, underdog energy, and bands that never quite learned to play it cool. With songs that bounce between the heartfelt and the unhinged, they've become cult favorites to those who like their rock sharp, smart, and just a little sideways. Every track is a toe-tapper, every show a full body grin. Known for live sets where someone forgets the lyrics or falls into the drums, they deliver an experience that's as unpredictable as it is straight ahead. If you like your music with a side of self-doubt and a dash of reckless abandon, you've come to the right place. Press play - and don't blame the Furors if you start humming their songs in the shower. Thirty-eight local bands made a two-CD tribute album to these guys. They may not be for everyone, but some people seem to really like this stuff.
