During his days at E.O. Smith High School, [[Rivers Cuomo]] began his first band, [[Fury]]. The exact years in which the band was active is up for dispute, but the band has been generally accepted to have operated primarily in the year of [[1984]] after Cuomo was gifted a guitar for his 14th birthday.<ref group="lower-alpha">There are sources that list shows played by a band called Fury in the Connecticut area in [[1983]], however it is likely this is an unrelated band.</ref><ref>Cuomo, Rivers.

The only known recording publicly released from the Fury era remains "[[I Wish You Had an Axe Guitar]]", a short clip taken from an undated Fury rehearsal tape, it contains no actual music, instead consisting of a conversation between bandmates Cuomo, [[Justin Fisher]], and [[Eric Robertson]]. Although more recordings are likely to exist from this time (specifically, the tape that was truncated for "I Wish You Had an Axe Guitar",) information on these tapes are currently unavailable.
