Sound and Fury to release new effort & playing Bamboozle

There was a time when rock n' roll was regarded as some kind of terrible, howling, beast from the abyss, ready to pounce upon and devour the unsuspecting youth of the world--hurling them into a wild life of freedom and outrageous adventure.Well, the beast is back! Toronto Canada's SOUND AND FURY is undeniably all about the rock, as heard throughout their self-titled debut full-length album, 'SOUND AND FURY' due June 24th via Rebel Youth Records/MRI-RED Distribution.

"I've had a lot of crazy experiences and rowdy times," recalls SOUND AND FURY singer/songwriter, Luke Metcalf. "I mainly write about when I was in high school and then afterward, when I was living homeless with the gutter punks in California.”

"Right from the start I knew exactly what I wanted when I wrote the music and lyrics for this album,” continues Metcalf. “I wanted to make a killer rock album to party your ass off to...an album to let loose, leave all the bulls**t behind and run wild to. When I hit high school I went totally out of control. It was just a rampage of crazy partying. At the time, I was incredibly pissed off and f**ked up because I was dealing with a lot of really harsh s**t... but I decided: "f**k it all... I'm gonna have some f**king fun"... and I managed to have a hell of a lot of fun. I made some really great friends and had some really wild times and this is what the album is all about."

In hooking up with guitarists Daz and Griffin, bassist John Kerns, and drummer Chris Avalos, Metcalf has found the band to play the music he lives to create. SOUND AND FURY is all about power chords and no-bullshit rock 'n roll, total sonic assault.

"We are all huge fans of 1970's rock and punk. AC/DC were at their peak between 76'-80', same with The Ramones, The Sex Pistols and The Misfits, and of course Zeppelin and Sabbath were at their best earlier in the decade. This music was ferocious! Dangerous! Like a wild wolf let out of its cage. That's what we're all about, creating no-bullshit Rock N' Roll to get down and dirty and party your ass off to!!!"

In addition to perfectly capturing their raw power on album, the group has been gaining fans by the truckload by opening up for Canada’s leading pop-punk band, Sum 41, throughout the great white north (as well as the U.K.).

Don’t believe us? Check out what SOUND AND FURY fanatic Sarky Bastid from Fazer Magazine had to say about the group’s March 19th performance at the Oshawa General Motors Centre. “These guys blew away what little pubes the all ages crowd had growing on them. Straight from the get-go, they plugged in and turned the volume up to 11. This band had elements of AC/DC, G n’ R, Sabbath, and the Pistols (if you don’t know those bands...then quit music). The vocals were incredible. The singer wore a cool bowler hat and gave the crowd more than they needed to rock out. It was like watching Alex from ‘Clockwork Orange’ in the band. And the lead guitarist...BAM! That dude was on f@#k’n fire! With songs like ’18,’ ‘Night of the Ghouls,’ and the catchy sing-along ‘Bad Touch’...this band is only going upwards from here.”

With dates upcoming on the Bamboozle Festival, SOUND AND FURY’S live roar is bound to only grow louder.Metcalf also promises that SOUND AND FURY will never attempt to "save the world" with their music. But rather, will continue to party and rock as hard as humanly possible.

"We don't take ourselves that seriously. This is about going out and getting crazy, for kids who want to go out and have a good time. I wanna party with the kids who live for rock n roll - no bullshit, down 'n dirty, ferocious rock 'n roll. People who really sincerely live for that music and don't give a shit about anything else. Basically I write about myself; who I am, what I've experienced. I write about what its like to be a wild wolf living in a culture of sheep."

On 'Sound And Fury', SOUND AND FURY is off to one hell of a start.
