It\u2019s certainly effective in harking back to the DIY ethos of classic hardcore, but it puts a total emphasis on the music and means that quality is even more of absolute necessity.<\/p>\n<p>And even if they\u2019ve not quite forged a truly unique path for themselves, <i>\u2019Failed Entertainment\u2019<\/i> does have enough in the way of standout moments to click on its own merits. That\u2019s made rather clear right from opener <i>\u2019Angels Over Berlin\u2019<\/i>, with a jagged yet distinctly melodic riff making way for Jeremy Stith\u2019s vocals that absolutely ooze with swagger. This is hardcore taking its cues from the groove and smoulder of the \u201890s, and just like Turnstile before them, <b>Fury<\/b> seem remarkably adept at giving that style a modern punch-up on tracks like <i>\u2019Inevitable Need To Reach Out\u2019<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Fury - &quot;Vacation&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8CKBpFNg3fI?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Of course, to carry on in that vein would be to pit this album against Turnstile\u2019s knack for colour and flair, and that\u2019s a battle that even the most seasoned of hardcore acts would struggle with. <b>Fury<\/b> are no different, but it\u2019s not a case of not trying, as the more direct flurries of <i>\u2019America\u2019<\/i> or the tense, metallic surge of <i>\u2019New Years Days\u2019<\/i> show. They\u2019re definitely getting there as far as capturing that vibe goes, and with a bit more refinement and diversity thrown into the mix, they\u2019re bound to reach it.<\/p>\n<p>Right now though, <i>\u2019Failed Entertainment\u2019<\/i> is a remarkably robust and satisfying listen, and one that opens a lot of potential avenues going forward. <b>Fury<\/b> aren\u2019t exactly revolutionising the sound, but doing enough to open things up while simultaneously hitting with direct, straightforward force is still worthy of commendation. Especially for what could be dismissed as \u2018just another hardcore band\u2019, there\u2019s a lot to like about this one.<\/p>\n<p>3.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Failed Entertainment&#8217;<\/i> by <b>Fury<\/b> is released on 3rd May on <b>Run For Cover Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Fury<\/b> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/furyhc.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Luke Nuttall (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nuttall_luke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@nuttall_luke<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;\u2019Failed Entertainment\u2019 is a remarkably robust and satisfying listen&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":78530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[5879,16892,5479,15029,822],"class_list":["post-78529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-album-reviews","tag-album-reviews","tag-failed-entertainment","tag-fury","tag-luke-nuttall","tag-run-for-cover-records"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
