The Furze were a British indie band from Maidenhead, Berkshire, England. The members of the band recorded together for more than ten years, and the same line-up previously performed under the name Kid Galahad. The band’s name is a reference to Furze Platt, the suburb of Maidenhead where the members originated.
Their music style has been compared to that of Beck and Jane's Addiction.[1] The band supported a number of prominent artists at concerts around the world, including Marillion, Kaiser Chiefs, Supergrass, Oasis, Kings of Leon and Elliott Smith.[2] The band bemoaned the lack of live music venues and outlets for local talent in the Maidenhead area, and as a result invested in Denmark Studios in the town.[3]
