[edit] Musical career
The group was founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1999 under the name Hearsay. They changed names to Hearsay TAO and released an album and an EP under this name.[1] They changed names again to The Fury, and released a self-titled EP in 2005. They signed to One Big Spark Records (a Warner Bros. Records subsidiary) in the Summer of 2005, and had to change their name to We Are the Fury for legal reasons.[1] The band re-released their EP as Infinite Jest through the label in 2006, and released their debut full length album, titled Venus, May 22, 2007. They were named an "Artist to Watch" by Rolling Stone in 2007.[2]
