For a band like River Fury<\/b>, titling their debut EP \u20195 Year Plan\u2019<\/i> feels as though it ties into more than just a concept about a person struggling to get their life on track. Indeed, it took a stint of slogging around open mic circuits to get a real start, and with members spread between the UK and Melbourne, it\u2019s frankly a minor miracle that they could even get together to record this EP.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not like the effort was wasted either, as while \u20195 Year Plan\u2019<\/i> definitely shows the rust of a new band finding their feet, there\u2019s enough to go on to suggest that River Fury<\/b> are moving a fairly auspicious direction. They already prove fairly adept at working with different sounds, rooted in indie-rock and augmenting it with pop on \u2019Walking In The Sand\u2019<\/i>, scruffy garage-rock on \u2019Tupelo\u2019<\/i> and even hints of psychedelia on \u2019Wasteful\u2019<\/i>. They\u2019re not mind-melting combinations or anything, but for a band looking to add a bit more flavour to their sound, it\u2019s hard to scoff at.<\/p>\n
