Untapped Fury began March 24, 1988, punching their way through the womb playing Hot for Teacher at double time. Jason and Bryan drifted from band to band like AIDS in San Francisco in the early 80s, with such lackluster and uninspired band names as “Electric Apocalypse” and “Satan’s Toothbrush.” It was not until Jason and Bryan reached the sweet, supple age of 16 that Untapped Fury began its reign on all things rock ‘n’ roll, with Jason on the six-string and Bryan banging away on the drums. Compiling such hits as Burn the Priest and Guns, Beer, and Pussy, the duo knew they would soon dominate the world. They enlisted longtime friend and bowling companion Alex Burchuk to play bass, and soul-mate/life coach Miles Clark on vocals. The band soon realized Miles overwhelming drug problem interfered with his commitment to the group, and began a desperate search for the voice that was to define a generation. Little did they know that the talent existed within Jason the entire time. After isolating himself in a dojo in the outskirts of the Himalayas and studying under Ralph Machio for three years, Jason was ready to unleash his vocal talent on the world. The band recorded their first demo in 2005, immediately selling every copy and booking a mini tour that included exclusive Los Angeles high schools, house parties and Jimmy Lebowitz’s bar mitzvah. After the enormous press and dedicated groupies that soon followed, Untapped Fury got a taste of success, and they liked it. In 2006, they released their full length, aptly titled "Heavy Metal in my Brain." If rock ‘n’ roll had a caste system, Untapped Fury was now at the top. Touring with bands like Van Stone and Sister Axe, UTF soon realized they were in need of an additional front man and all around badass. From the haze of San Luis Obispo appeared Cody “Super-Soaker” Elliott. Perfecting the line up with an additional vocalist and front man, the band was ready to record their self titled masterpiece, an album to rival the bible. The band is currently booking stadiums, house parties, book clubs, Indian Gaming Casinos and YOUR BACKYARD!!!!
Jason
Jason's Bio
Virtuoso, Sex God, Genius‚ adjectives not nearly powerful enough to describe the legend that is Jason Kaye, lead guitarist and singer of Untapped Fury. Jason entered this universe with his twin brother by his side on March 24th 1988. It wasn't until the summer of 2002 that his life would forever change and turn him into a god among men, known by the mortal humans of planet Earth as SHREDZILLA. It was in this summer of 2002 that Jason discovered Van Halen and became obsessed with shredding. He locked himself in his room for 39 hours a day studying the Tao and Zen of Shredding (using a flux capacitor which enabled him to travel back in time and clock in more hours of practice.) Scholars must note that Van Halen was not the only influence on the young prodigy. Randy Rhoads and especially Dimebag Darrell played a significant role in the studies of the young man who would become a symbol of awesomeness. But music is not the only thing that defined Jason's existence. Jason is also a devout follower of Batman and The Joker.

Cody's Bio
Prophet, visionary, part time narcissist, and full time badass. Armed with six strings and a passion for freedom, this young man began his foray into the Southern California music scene when he was a sophomore in high school. Collaborations with local glam/folk bands gained him instant recognition within the suburban underground music scene. The overwhelming presence and growth of pseudo-reggae into popular culture only fuels this dedicated rock machine as he and his allies wage war against this invasive upstroke. Cody once said: ‚We overcame the bubonic plague in the Middle Ages, and now we must defeat its ugly step sister. Drawing inspiration and influence from punk rock, beer, Kevin Costner, foul language, and twentieth century existentialism, Cody hopes to make a difference in the hearts and minds of people around the world.
