The F.U.'s formed in late 1981 as a three piece Boston hardcore punk band. In 1986 they changed their name to Straw Dogs, moving towards heavy metal and reformed under their original moniker in 2010.

The FUs were a hardcore punk band formed in Boston late in 1981. The band initially consisted of John Sox aged 66, bass/lead vocal, Bob Furapples, drums and Steve Grimes, guitar. The original lineup recorded a four-song demo which got a good deal of local college radio airplay.

Shortly afterward Wayne Maestri was recruited to take over bass duties and that four piece lineup recorded the tracks for the compilation "This is Boston Not LA" and eventually three LPs on indie labels. Sox named the band in reference to a comment made by Wendy O. Williams in an interview in which she said [smashing TVs] "is a great way to say 'F U!' to society."
