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, "to strong critical reaction but, surprisingly, precious few sales," although it has even invited comparisons to Led Zeppelin since.{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/stone-fury-mn0000523044|title=Stone Fury | Biography & History|website=AllMusic|access-date=July 21, 2021}} Their only single "Break Down the Wall", taken from the album, peaked at No. 47 in the US rock chart in 1984.{{Cite web|url=https://www.musicvf.com/song.php?title=Break+Down+the+Wall+by+Stone+Fury&id=85389|title=Break Down the Wall (song by Stone Fury) • Music VF, US & UK hits charts|website=Musicvf.com|access-date=July 21, 2021}} 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. Gowdy went on to work with World Trade.
