Furnace - Turns To Dust

One of, if not THE sickest punk band in Boston (/NH), Furnace. Newest release, Doublewalker (2009, self released/cassettes on Gafas Del Rigor) is fast, smart and back-breakingly heavy.

In 2010, look forward to releases on TDB, ‘proper’ pressings of Doublewalker on Shock Value, and a split w Miami’s Capsule.
