MAY/JUNE 2011: New songs and hardly any time to load them...feel a little out of touch and out of the swing, but I've been busy with my other band in "real time", URGENT FURY. Doing new tracks, prepping an album for later this year and planning to record in NY in the summer!! This has sort of put ROPE BURNS on a back burner, but still plenty of songs to upload soon!! ABRAHAM RODRIGUEZ is the founding member of URGENT FURY, a New York City Hardcore Punk band(1982-1992). In ten years, the band played out with groups like A.P.P.L.E., MARGINAL MAN, US CHAOS, FALSE PROPHETS, VIRUS and others in the old New York scene. Put out a couple of demo tapes, a split single and a 10" album. There is an URGENT FURY webpage: www.myspace.com/urgentfury616. He is also the author of 4 books, including his latest novel, SOUTH BY SOUTH BRONX from Akashic Books.
