Funeral For A Friend

‘Waterfront Dance Club' / 'Beneath The Burning Tree'
Double A-side single out July 14th 2008 Join Us Records

Three gold selling albums. nine Top 20 singles. Half a decade of global touring taking in Singapore, Thailand, Australasia, Japan, America and every corner of Europe. Twenty plus magazine front covers. FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND are truly a phenomenon.

And in 2008 they are embarking on the greatest part of their adventure yet. They have formed their very own record label, the bullishly titled Join Us Records. Funded by Ingenious Music and built on Integral’s (a division of PIAS) formidable infrastructure, this is a move that has energised and excited the Welsh quintet in equal measure.

‘Waterfront Dance Club’ and ‘Beneath The Burning Tree’ will be Funeral For A Friend’s fans first chance to hear the newly invigorated band’s current sound. Drawing fire from the muscular intensity of their earlier material and melding it seamlessly to the melodic intelligence of latter albums ‘Hours’ and ‘Tales Don’t Tell Themselves’, this new material shows the band to be as incisively relevant as ever. WDC will be available as a free download from July 14 and both tracks will grace a limited edition 7” from the same date.

Now with their own hands at the tiller, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND look destined to add another scintillating chapter to their incredible story.
