Julia Deans

A roller coaster ride speeding through lyrical differentiation, Julia Dean’s explosively gorgeous vocals deliver the precise untamed spice and heartbreak to a differing number of Collider’s tracks.

Fur Patrol have taken the Melbourne saying, ‘The dirtier and darker the alley, the better the bar’, and placed it at the core of their new sound. Although rockier, the band haven’t lost the pop melodies found in Pet, thus creating a super addictive album. One thing is certain, the band has taken painstaking care to ensure every track is of optimal quality, fortunately for the masses, this is another album that will grow with you.

Fur Patrol created most of their popularity during live performances touring New Zealand campus orientation weeks, word quickly spreading about their originality and flare, plus with 2000’s most radio played song ‘Lydia’ at their side, the group was in hot demand. However, the band knew if they were to continue the growth of their music, they would eventually need to leave our shores. "The size of New Zealand means you can't actually tour that much or you end up over-promoting yourselves," explains drummer, Simon Braxton. "In Australia you can tour and tour and keep doing it, which is kind of scary."
