Radar Spotlight: FUR.
The Brighton based quartet expects to release an EP for 2019.
In a few years ago, William Murray and Harry Saunders decide to write songs and, William Tavener on bass and Flynn Whelan on drums gather to complete the group known as the 2017 autumn hit If You Know That I’m Lonely that reached 5 million on YouTube and 3.5 million on Spotify so far.
FUR combine modern indie rock with the 50s and 60s romantics ballads and nostalgic sound, a journey that flirts between American Doo-Wop and the UK Beat. Catchy guitars and sarcastic video clips, they became quickly attracted and beloved by the fans that often compares with The Beatles.
In almost four years of activity, they were gigging all over the UK playing at big festivals like The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Bestival, and lately supporting Miles Kane throughout last summer.
Following The Kooks and Royal Blood, Brighton has been a prolific soil for new alternative bands such as FUR, that soon will release a debut EP on February 14 with five songs, including the singles Angel Eyes and Him and Her via Nice Swan Records.
