In an age of musical fusion and genre straddling hybrids there are few surprises and fewer revelations. Funeral For A Friend are truly an exception.

Taking the emotional drive and melodic heart of emo, the gut-driven power of rock and the hardworking ethic of hardcore, FFAF are as potent and intense a band as you could wish for. And while there is undeniably a muscular aggression within their sound, their true strength lies in their dedication to the art of writing songs!

Like Jimmy Eat World, Boy Sets Fire, Hundred Reasons and Waterdown, Funeral For A Friend are fuelled by emotion and a desire to captivate through the power of their music. The gloriously expressive voice of Matt Davies soars over the layered and complex interplay of the band, creating an entity that truly boasts a beating heart.

Signed to Mighty Atom Records (home to Liberty37 and Goatboy) the Welsh quintet release their debut EP ('Between Order And Model', MTY338) on August 12 2002. Produced and mixed by Joe Gibb (Jane's Addiction, Catatonia, Leftfield) it features four tracks and offers an impressive introduction to the world of Funeral For A Friend.
