"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-bulls*** 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-bulls*** 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.). With dates upcoming on the Bamboozle Festival, SOUND AND FURY'S live roar is bound to only grow louder.

Saturday, April 5th, 2008 at 3 P.M on the MLB stage at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, C.A.
