New update from Matt Davies-Kreye on myspace:

“It’s been a looooooooong time since i’ve posted anything on this here page of ours and i cannot excuse the lax attitude of keeping in touch via the electronic web. So here I am dropping some words into the box.

So as you all might have heard we’re neck deep in the process of writing and demoing new tunes for FFAF ALBUM NUMBER 5, it’s been going really well and we’ve got a ton of new songs already sorted out that are exciting everyone here at FFAF HQ. I know people are gonna be wondering what they sound like and it might be some time before you guy’s actually here them but trust me when i say that these tunes rock more than anything we’ve done in the past couple of years.

I’m really happy with the lyrics i’ve been writing, more so than I have of any of the last two records (not to say that those were bad by any means) but it’s been a strong continuation of of the stuff we recorded for Your History Is Mine. I personally think you’re gonna love these tunes, i really do. They blow away thew cobwebs and make you want to finger point and scream at the top of your lungs.

Anyway, while I was away before Xmas i got to catch up with friends in Strike Anywhere and meet and see the awesomeness of Dead to Me (if you haven’t heard of them then check them out!) and I’ve been unable to stop playing all my As Friends Rust and Lifetime records. They’re definitely taking a beating!

Video blogs should be coming along soon so you get to see some stuff as we’re heading into the studio in March so you won’t have to wait too long for some visual information. Plus you might get to hear somethings too.

Anyway, i’ve gotta run. Got stuff to do and very little time to do it in.

Stay safe, much love.

Matty.”

Funeral For A Friend at Habbo UK – Into Oblivion (Acoustic) (Sep. 30th)

Funeral For A Friend at Habbo UK – History (Acoustic) and The Art of American Football (Acoustic) (Sep. 30th)

Simon Young finds himself as the filling in a very tasty Funeral For A Friend sandwich and gets the lowdown on their forthcoming anthology, Your History Is Mine…

Funeral For A Friend’s sound cut out during a wet day one of Reading Festival.

The band, who were performing on the main stage, suddenly stopped during a rendition of ‘All The Rage’, as the speakers blew.

The sound wasn’t restored for a full five minutes, during which, drummer Ryan Richards tried to rouse support by playing the beat to ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen.

When the speakers did finally come back on, frontman Matthew Davies-Kreye said it best declaring, “it happens all the time – rain stops play.”

The band were greeted by a heavy downpour during their set which lead to Davies-Kreye saying, “only at a British festival can you have rain and sunshine at the same time.”

The band also played a storming rendition of ‘She Drove Me To Daytime Television’ before huge circle pit opened for ‘The Art Of American Football’.
