Los Furios :: Warning Shot : CD

Release Date :: September, 2004

Los Furios started out a 5 years ago as a three-piece hip hop/reggae band along the lines of Sublime under the moniker the Furios before expanding into a five-piece Reggae/Ska/Latin/Punk outfit “Los Furios”.
The band members, all of whom sing and contribute to the songwriting process, write with their audience in mind, ditching the two-tone, suit-wearing, 2/4-beat ska rulebook and playing what they think will keep listeners engaged.
Los Furios hail from Canada and are currently our only Canadian band on the label!

If you like your ska more hard driving and punk'd up, with a dash of Latin flavour, then be sure to give this record a spin (or apply a laser to the cd...) Continuing the North American ska sound (in a good way), 'The Furios' tour practically non stop in the country to the North of us. This album is sure to be a defining moment in the band, as they have recently dropped the 'Los' and come forth as just 'The Furios'. So if you want to hear the band in their early incarnation, pick this up before they are all gone.
