|The Furios are a 5 piece band from [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]] who have performed across Western [[Canada]] since 2000. The Furios began adding horns to the line-up in 2001 and have been evolving their BLEND of [[punk rock|punk]], [[ska]], and [[reggae]] ever since.
The band features a 2 piece horn section complemented by distinct songwriters and vocalists. This instrumentation adds to their diverse sound. Noticeable influences in their sound include acts such as [[The Clash]], [[Sublime]], [[Fishbone]], and [[Rancid (band)|Rancid]]. The 6-song EP "Los Furios" ([[Surrender Records]] 2003) was the first release to feature the horn driven sound people have come to associate with the band.
The most recent Furios release is "Warning Shot" ([[Megalith Records]] USA/[[Bacteria Buffet Records]] CDN)which has sold over 5000 copies, mostly at the live shows, and has received rave reviews from college radio DJ's across the country. "Warning Shot" fully displays the diverse influences of the group, ranging from [[rocksteady reggae]] to so-cal [[punk & ska]].
February 4th 2006, the brand New album entitled "Tread Lightly" will be released, with a more powerful sound and the best songwriting to date for the band, and extensive touring will follow. The Furios shine the brightest when seen and heard live. The six piece group rocks, jumps, bumps and dances through set after set creating a party atmosphere that has made them a favorite with club owners and patrons alike.
