Tender Fury was an American hard rock and punk rock band from Long Beach, CA formed in 1987 and active until their disbandment in 1993. Jack Grisham and Todd Barnes of T.S.O.L. were founding members of Tender Fury, and while Barnes was only active through 1990, Grisham remained the original founding member throughout the band's lifetime. Other prominent members of the band included Hunt Sales, Randy Bradbury, Josh Freese, and Frank Agnew.

Tender Fury released three albums over the course of their career, after which Grisham worked to form The Joykiller and the eventual re-formation of T.S.O.L.'s original lineup (minus Barnes, who passed in 1999). Their final album, If Anger Were Soul I'd Be James Brown (1991), is cited by Grisham in a 2013 interview as being a turning point in his career in terms of serious devotion to making music in the aftermath of substance recovery.
