Funeral For A Friend

Funeral For A Friend

Rushing in on a wave of adrenalin and stomping rhythms, ‘Rules And Games’ rubber stamps Funeral For A Friend’s current sense of invigoration and joyful enthusiasm. As the opening track on the recently released ‘Memory And Humanity’ album it convincingly sets out the quintet’s stall in brash and confident form.

Currently touring the world in support of the album (the band are Stateside for six weeks, then visiting Mexico, Japan, Asia and Australia - where they tour for a week with the Soundwave Festival), they will return to the UK in March for a string of dates.

Talking about ‘Rules And Games’, frontman Matt Davies said, “The conservative media has made an aggressive stand point on targeting current rock acts as the reasons behind the current fears that the youths of today are becoming more involved in self harming and suicide.

"We all know these claims are just a way of passing the buck away from the truth. In a day and age where the idea of family seems to have been forgotten, most adults work stupid hours in an effort to keep their jobs and status and lives together but sacrifice their families in the process.”

The band will also hit the road to support the release.
