Emergence
Sargant Fury was founded in 1987 by musicians Bauke De Groot ( bass ), Olaf Grosser ( guitar ), Kai Steffen (guitar) and drummer founded Heiko Heike, the band name was the Marvel - comic series Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos. Borrowed that from 1963 until 1981 was published. The group recorded a demo tape called United States of Europe , which by chance ended up in the UK , where it fell into the hands of Newcastle-based Andrew “Mac” McDermott . McDermott offered Sargant Fury his services as a singer and moved to Hanover.
The 1991 released debut album Still Want More was developed by Tommy Newton produced and helped the group to the occasion, the opening act for bands like Ten Years After and Gillan to play. The reviews of Still Want More were mostly positive, the band was considered the most hopeful newcomer on the German melodic scene.

reception
Thomas Kupfer wrote for Rock Hard that it was certain that WEA Records was "doing the best when it came to promoting German talent". Still Wants More is “an album that offers melodic rock at its best” and “easily lives up to international standards”. You can tell that "the quintet is a band that has grown over the years", the songs seemed too "mature (but still sparkling)" for one to conclude that it was a "lovelessly thrown together test tube project". The song material offers "aggressive (!) Guitars, a grooving rhythm section and singer Mac," whose voice reminds "in phases of Vic Wright, the former Tokyo Blade singer or old Jaguar numbers". With the song material, the band covers a “stylistic spectrum that ranges from pounding ( Slow'n'Easy ) to ballad-like ( Don't You Know ) to lively melodic rockers ( Me , Do You Remember , Love On The Run )” . The "massive production" does the rest to catapult the quintet "to the top of the national hard rock movement, in the Pink Cream 69, Casanova category, for example" ... Sargant Fury is a newcomer who has shown that “melodic hard rock cannot always be equated with clichés”. These youngsters would become young stars “in the foreseeable future”.
