Emerging Punk-Rockstar Feura makes music for the bold and authentic. In the past year, they have gained a queer following by empowering people to be unapologetically themselves and say f*ck you to the haters.

Online, Feura is known for its witty personality, DIY clothing, live show performance clips, and comedic storytelling. Be on the lookout for Feura in 2024 as they gear up to release music.
