History
UK Decay members Steve "Abbo" Abbot, Steve Harle and Eddie Branch stayed together after that band split. The three recorded under the name Slavedrive on compilation LP The Whip (though the CD reissue credits the song to UK Decay) and as Meat of Youth on LP Young Limbs, Numb Hymns: The Batcave Compilation,[1] with a guitarist named Patrick Egan (ex Where’s Lisse) who soon left.[2]
They were joined by guitarist Albie de Luca, formerly of Gene Loves Jezebel, and renamed themselves Furyo. They played their first show in September 1983.[3]
ZigZag described the songwriting as "Brechtian" and Abbo's vocal style as "grandiloquent".[4] Sounds said their style "borrows the instrumental story-telling augmentation found in classical music."[5] Trouser Press described them as "attempting even weightier and more baroque compositions [than UK Decay]".[6]
The band released two mini-albums, Furioso and Furyo, and recorded an unreleased album (announced but not released by Grim Humour fanzine[2]) before splitting again in early 1985.
