Lucille Furs’ Journey Into “Another Land”
Hailing from the windy city, psychedelic rock group Lucille Furs explores the youthful ambition of leaving town and making a name for yourself in one of their latest tracks, “Another Land”.

FUR’s “Angel Eyes” Brings Indie-Rock Back Into Focus
The definition of Rock as a genre is one the most debated topics I’ve ever had to discuss with both passive listeners and published artists, with no one really coming to a conclusion of what “Rock” actually is. Most tend to simply cite a few bands or artists that come to mind when they think […]
