Funeral For A Friend will unleash 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.
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' for the new year.
