REVIEW : N.Y. FURY, I Want It All (Eonian Records Release: 30 December 2022)

N.Y. FURY is an American hard rock band formed in the NY/NJ Tri-State Area in 1980 by Gene Hunter (bass, songwriter). Known for ιτσ high energy, hard rock theatrics, and hard-hitting sound with always a melodic commercial feel and approach, the band took over the local scene in the mid-to-late 80s. 

Here are some facts about N.Y. FURY ; 

• Their debut concert was a 1,000-seat sellout
• They were the first metal band to perform on the USS Intrepid, also known as The Fighting "I" for the United States Armed Forces.
• They became the first unsigned band to headline the L’Amour, the Rock Capital of Brooklyn, Club Bene, and the Stone Pony, their first time performing at all venues.
• N.Y. FURY found itself in many newspapers and magazines back then
• They were even talked about on a VH1 Super Group episode

So, the question is why this band didn't made it big back then? I think that many bands of the so-called hair metal/hard rock scene of the glory 80's, early 90's, cause of the grunge-revolution somehow 'lost' their way to success. But no worries 'cause to EONIAN RECORDS we are finally have this little gem in our hands to enjoy a little of their magic. 

The music of N.Y. FURY is powerful, hard-hitting with all the melodies, catchiness and attitude to 'wake up' the glory mid 80's, early 90's era with all its glory. Songs such as "Danger I Face",  the commercial "Dance" & "If Only You Can See Me Now", the groovier "Bad Enough" and the beautiful ballad of "Just Tell Me You Love Me" are some great samples of a band that had the right 'package' to become BIG back then!! Well done!!!
