Love and Fury is a Seattle-based original rock band. Its wall of distorted, well-crafted guitars with psychedelic overtones are led by Gary King and Bob Watanabe. A tight, hard hitting and undulating rhythm section is held down by Jane Mabry Smith (bass) and Kai Strandskov (drums). Rob Knop (keys) flourishes the integrate arrangements; while Gretta Harley’s strong, haunting and melodious vocals paint lyrics about the days we live in. Love and Fury is just that. It rocks you in the face while offering you hope and beauty. We are nothing without you, listener and show goer. We can’t wait for you to hear the music.

Reviews

"Harley’s words deliver a potent condemnation of sexism and hypocrisy in poetic yet forceful fashion. “Unearth the lies, then face them down/expose you to the sirens/we’ll crowd you out, we’ll drown you out,” she sings. You won’t find a better example of the polar extremes of the band’s name being wrought in vivid, thrilling fashion."

"King’s riffs oscillate pretty consistently between end-of-days power (the opener, “Scorpio”) and warbling psychedelic texture (“Kali”), but he’s a nimble songwriter whose compositions cast a wide net stylistically. “Ling” is a drama-infused, gothic piano ballad, while “Alchemy” throws down a forceful, slingshot bass and some near-U2 anthemic soaring. Like all the best rock records, Planet manages to be a consistent sum of its parts without sounding like ten iterations of the same song..."
