Funeral For A Friend kick off tour next week

3 x Gold-selling Welsh rockers FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND hit the UK for an extensive tour NEXT WEEK!!

The five-piece from Bridgend have released new single 'Kicking & Screaming' THIS WEEK and gear up for the release of their hugely-anticipated fourth album 'Memory & Humanity' on October 13th, exactly five years to the day their debut record 'Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation' hit the shelves!

The first on their own label, Join Us, it is a diverse and exciting album that will no doubt match the successes of their previous releases.

Featuring thirteen new tracks, 'Memory And Humanity' draws fire from the muscular intensity of their earlier material and melds it seamlessly to the melodic intelligence of latter albums 'Hours' and 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves'. This album shows the band to be as incisively relevant as ever.

Support on the tour will come from Canadian metallers Cancer Bats, Irish upstarts In Case Of Fire and Welsh combo Attack Attack.
