History

Lenny Wolf and Bruce Gowdy met in 1983 to found Stone Fury. Their debut album, Burns Like a Star, was released on MCA Records the following year,[2] "to strong critical reaction but, surprisingly, precious few sales,"[3] although it has even invited comparisons to Led Zeppelin since.[4] Their only single "Break Down the Wall", taken from the album, peaked at No. 47 in the US rock chart in 1984.[5] Their sophomore effort, Let Them Talk, also saw only limited success.

Consequently, the band split up: Wolf went back to his native Germany to return to the US with his new band Kingdom Come in 1987.[2] Gowdy went on to work with World Trade.[2]
