FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND

"Seven Ways to Scream Your Name" (Ferret; 2003)

Reviewed by Mike SOS

Besides having one of the most engaging names for a band, the five blokes that comprise the latest English sensation, Funeral for a Friend, also provide some of the most electrifying music heard from the hardcore genre in a long time. 

Blending metallic crunch with punk pretenses and memorable choruses, FOAF's seven-track release is as dynamic as anything heard this year and will move you in ways that bands like Snapcase, Lostprophets, and Thrice do. 

For music that hits equally as hard in the head, the heart, and the gut, check out "Seven Ways to Scream Your Name" and get swept away by the juggernaut known as Funeral for a Friend.

Rating Guide:

A classic. This record will kick your ass.

Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.

So-so. You've heard better.

Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.

Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
