Fury on Tour 2008 is a new local platform with a global agenda, showcasing the freshest international hardcore talent alongside their South African counterparts.

It features two of the hottest new international 'core' acts on the scene, Shipwreck AD (USA) and The Vendetta (Italy) with support from the likes of Johannesburg's Bloodline Ltd, Durban's Crossing Point and the East Rand's New Found Disorder.

Shipwreck AD have been described as the next great hope of the US hardcore scene, the same scene that gave birth to bands like Madball, Converge and more. Driven by their contempt for humanity (as we currently know it) they embody a spirit of rage that will drive them onto to hardcore greatness.

In late 2006, Shipwreck released their debut EP on Deathwish Inc to instant critical acclaim and 2007 saw the band release their debut full length 'Abyss' to rave reviews which prompted the onset of a touring schedule the likes of which our local artists would be only too pleased to embrace. Fresh from a three week annihilation of Europe en route to spread their gospel to fans in Japan the band join us in South Africa to learn more about us as well as teach us their ways.

Italy's "Street Rocking Kings" The Vendetta bring a technical proficiency to their brand of hardcore they deliver and interrupt the recording of their new album (which features the talents of Roger Miret) to visit South Africa and win over new converts…
