Unchanged, undimmed, Funeral For A Friend drag themselves kicking and scream(o)ing back onto the frontline.

Rather expectedly, the first fruits from their LA sessions for LP no.2 reveal a 'not broken - dont fix' mentality, as 'Streetcar' offers the usual collusion of metal riffing, nice little melodic harmonics and tuneful emosity (yes we made that word up).

It's the usual, well-honed break-up, never-make-up material and while it's not a classic in the vein of 'Juneau' or 'Escape Artists Never Die' it will certainly do as an opening gambit. It bodes well for their forthcoming 'Hours' record - if all you want is more Funeral. Anyone waiting for progression may be left waiting a little while.

        Are the telephone noises in the real song, or are they a special video effect?
      • Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

        They're in the song
        • Re: Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

          they suck so much balls (not ffaf, the noises)
      • Re: Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

        it's true
        i was disappointed
  • Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

    'Juneau' is definitely not a classic. Even the original 'Juno' isn't a classic. A word that's thrown about far too much.

      what the fuck is that front cover about???

      at least they used to have good artwork.

      Juneau was a great single at the time, but now seems very boring. I blame any liking of ffaf on puberty.

  • Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

  • Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

    I like this song too, and a while ago i heard on the lock up another track called "roses for the dead" thats gonig to be on the album, and its awesome. Streetcar, big thumbs up!
  • Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

    never been a huge fan of ffaf, least of all the 'casually...' lp, the ep that preceded it showed promise, the lp showed a band manipulated......this is yet more manipulated pop for the prepubescents to get their sweating masturbating hands on
  • Funeral For A Friend - Streetcar

    I was a fan of ffaf before the album came out and they let the record company remix all the songs from the ep's. The ep's are so good but the remixesare terrible. I saw them live before the album came out (and met them) ah.......those were the days
    I also blame puberty

    I think this song is really good, even better now that it hasnt got as much screaming in but all the old stuff is great too!
