"VR" released today!

Today's the day - our new album "VR" is officially released. The press reviews so far are almost universally good/great. The reaction from fans has been superb - thank you! We're proud to finally get the album out there. We recorded it back in January & it took this long time to line everything up to get to release date. Big thanks to our label, Rocksector Records, for grafting behind the scenes to help us make this happen.

Have you got a copy? If not we currently suggest Amazon.co.uk as both HMV & Play have sold out on pre-orders. They'll be getting the album back in but for the time being Amazon have stock available. Here's a link :-




Also, the new "VR" T-shirts are now available from the band's website at www.furyuk.com. Here's an image to give you a good idea what they look like, with Mark Wilkinson's amazing album cover design on the front, then the band name & album track listing on the back. Hope you like!



Thanks a lot.

SOS Festival / end of the Blaze Bayley Tour

Hi again & what a last few days we've had. We were of course down in Plymouth at the White Rabbit where we played the last "conventional" date with Blaze Bayley on the UK tour, then travelled through the night back to Manchester for the truly final &
20th date of the tour : SOS Festival on Saturday. Now this one was special. At Radcliffe Civic with a fine audience totalling 300+ we rocked out alongside some other excellent bands including our labelmates Decadenze & Nightvision, & of course Blaze Bayley. Immense thanks to Blaze for having us on this tour. He's influenced us in various ways & we believe we're definitely a better band for it. A fantastic opportunity & a pleasure. Very sad that the tour ends but it was in fine style. The atmosphere & sense of occasion at SOS was truly awesome. A packed house, great bands & great excitement. Big thanks to the organisers, our label Rocksector Records, & to all the fans for their huge support - especially those of you that have bought & received the new album "VR" in the past few days. Official release date is tomorrow
(13th July) but in addition to those of you who bought the album at SOS we understand at least one of the big retail stores got the album out to you a few days early & so far the feedback has been excellent.

More photos uploaded to our myspace at www.myspace.com/furyuk but meanwhile here's a taster :-



More news coming soon of course as we continue hitting the road almost straight away as our "VR" tour begins on Wednesday at MFN Club, Shipley Gate, Nottingham. No rest for the wicked!
