Press Reviews Interview with Chris Speck of The Chapel Hill News: http://www.chapelhillnews.com/Issues/1999/07/30/arts01.html Other quotes from the press: "Fura's sound derives from Fugazi but goes to places Fugazi has long since forgotten how to get to." - Greg Barbera, The Spectator, July 7-13, 1999. "The music of Fura lives where noise and music meet, in the suspense created therein." - Chris Speck, The Chapel Hill News, July 30, 1999. "Fura play loud, mid-tempo punk songs with lots of tortured lyrics about love and alienation." - Karen A. Mann, The Independent Weekly, July 14-20, 1999. "A Fura show promises intensity, spirit and a diehard, unpretentious musical ethic." - Jonas Blank, The Chronicle (Duke University), September 17, 1999. "Fura is a loud, garagey punk band that has some artsy pretensions (complex guitar lines, lotsa lotsa angst, etc.), but enough energy and talent to either get away with it or at least to make us not care." - Chris Speck, The Chapel Hill News, July 30, 1999. Quotes from Alt.Music.Chapel-Hill Newsgroup: "Fura, why hadn't any of you recommended them to me before? They were great. I was sitting there on a couch watching an interesting rock band. That was awesome…. Fura's great." - Jay Stallings. toybox@email.unc.edu. Posted July 12, 1999. "Fura reminds me of Fugazi because of the dynamics that both bands incorporate in to their songs, from slow quiet plinking harmonics to full out roar." - Dave Schall. jdschall@eos.ncsu.edu. Posted April 30, 1999.
