Funeral For A Friend - The DistanceFuneral For A Friend – The Distance

Funeral For A Friend are set to release their sixth studio album ‘Conduit’ on the 28th January and if the first single to be taken from the album ‘Best Friends And Hospital Beds’ and their forthcoming single ‘The Distance’ is anything to go by then 2013 is going to be their year as it seems that Funeral For A Friend have recharged their batteries and come back in a frantic way.

‘The Distance’ deals with the subject of life on the road and how hectic it can be driving all over the country on a mammoth tour and this pretty much coincides with the bands forthcoming tour with starts in a couple of weeks and see’s them tour all over the UK for the next 2-3 months.

Musically the song is massive opening with a mad flurry of drum beats which clearly shows that Funeral For A Friend have a new found drive now ex Rise To Remain’s drummer Pat Lundy is behind the kit as he makes a massive impact with his drum beats whilst the rest of the band rock out as if their lives depended on it, vocally Matt Davies is at the top of his game with a mixture of heavy shouts and melodic moments.

The only downside about the song is that it ends rather abruptly leaving you wanting more but that is nothing that pressing the play button again can’t correct.

5/5
