Funeral For A Friend: Double A-Side Single Out In July

Funeral For A Friend will release a double A-side single on July 14th, titled ‘Waterfront Dance Club / Beneath The Burning Tree’. The band have also been busy and 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.

“We were fortunate to be on a major label for the past five years,” says bassist Gareth Davies, “Now we are in a great position to take the time investment that they have already put into us, and walk away, and start afresh, with a clean slate and with the fanbase already in place. This is a great stepping stone for us.”

‘Waterfront Dance Club’ and ‘Beneath The Burning Tree’ will be Funeral For A Friend’s fans’ first chance to hear the 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.” ‘Waterfront Dance Club’ will be available as a free download from July 14 and both tracks will grace a limited edition 7” from the same date.
