Funeral For A Friend will unleash ‘The Distance’, the second single from forthcoming album ‘Conduit’, through Distiller Records on 11th February.
‘The Distance’ is a song about one particular tour endurance test the band went through and the accompanying music video reflects experiences on the road in a van as a five-piece. As vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye puts it: “The Distance is a song about being in a van, on tour travelling around in foreign countries during the summer and going crazy because the van only had one small window that would open and no air con.”
‘Conduit’ is the follow-up to 2011’s critically acclaimed ‘Welcome Home Armageddon’ and their first with new drummer Pat Lundy. ‘Conduit’ definitely marks some changes for the band. However, Davies-Kreye matter of factly states: “It wears its heart on its sleeve in terms of it representing the scene of music that spawned us. It's not trying to be a rebirth or anything cheesy like that. It's just honest and I hope that's evident from those who listen to it. In my heart it would be rad for people to take these songs and love them as much as the others they love and come to a show on a tour and sing them as hard to us as we do to them. That would be beautiful.”
As ever, Funeral For A friend remain dedicated to playing live shows on a level that will continually connect with their loyal fans and so have announced an extensive 23-date run of intimate shows across the UK and Ireland in support of ‘Conduit’. Joining the band on these dates are the excellent Such Gold and Major League from the US. Opening the tour will be Red Bull Bedroom Jam 2012 champions, I Divide, who earned their place on the tour and Red Bull Bedroom Jam victory after 10 months of impressive performances at UK festivals, ceaseless self-promotion and a blazing performance at the Bedroom Jam live final.
