Welsh post-hardcore band Funeral for a Friend were one of the genre’s most enduring; but after (nearly) fifteen years, and seven studio albums - most recently this January’s ‘Chapter and Verse’ - they’ve decided to call it a day.
“I guess the main reason behind it is time,” lead vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye tells Upset. “Fourteen and a half years is way longer than any of us considered this band would exist for, and to have pretty much ticked off all the ‘musical bucket list’ options we had was good. We made a record that we loved and we felt that it marked a full stop for us, it was us coming full circle again and that really gave us a sense of closure so it felt like the right move.”
It’s something the band have been considering for a while - “on and off since we finished recording ‘Chapter and Verse’,” in fact. “I think we all felt that record was a full stop and to try to continue past it was a bit pointless.
