Funeral Diner
 

Are one of my favorite bands at the moment. Most of their albums consist of splits and they have like 3 or something like that albums. Anyway, they're very good and check them out.

good find. easily one of the more appealing bands ive heard in this genre. the songs are really well put together, and the band just has a groove. i like 'em.

BUMP

They're great song writers. I guess you could say a breath of fresh air for the genre. Everything they write is extremely coherant and well put together.

The 3 songs on their site are good, really good band.

all i have by them is a split 7" with welcome the plague year, but i tell you , that song blew me right off my feet. i definately reccomend it. the wtpy side is amazing as well. i need more funeral diner though.

They are pretty boring, for the most part. I have the Underdark and could upload it for everyone.

Funeral Diner

and I hear they're going to do a split with Ampere

who doesnt do a split with ampere nowadays haha. Yea I like the progression of some of Funeral Diner's songs. Like how it goes from ambient to total awesomeness. They are very good at writing songs.

I revoke my statement from 9 months ago.

Bump, Paper is one of my favourite songs ever. Took me a while to really get into it, but ****, I love them so much now.

hmm.... i dunno why the song "under" isn´t more known... far their best one imo

I can't help but think these guys are vastly overrated due to sites like fourfa.

^Care to explain a bit more? I haven't really read fourfa that much, but I'm skimming over it now and it doesn't seem to mention them that much... correct me if I'm wrong.

Isn't fourfa ran by one of the dudes in Funeral Diner?

I think I heard about that before, I think he just drummed for them once or something like that.

Right. And I do think that they're vastly overrated, and the only way I can attribute to their popularity would be that fourfa still has them up as "My band Funeral Diner".

Mm. Truth be told, they can get boring (The Underdark, specifically) but tracks like Syncope and Paper really do it for me.

Um...Correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy that runs Fourfa, he just drummed for Funeral Diner?

That would mean he's also drummed in Portraits of Past.
Which makes him an emo/screamo legend. ;)

Anyways, besides their newest release "doors open" they've always been a great band and probably one of top choices to help someone get into screamo, or one of the best choices for overall solid screamo band. "Doors Open" wasnt terrible, it's just the sad fact there wasnt anything special about it. But you can't blame them at all, they've released so much it's bound to happen eventually.

They're just a great band, whether it's covering a Rites Of Spring song in an completely different and unique style, to playing some good ol' typical fast and high pitched chaotic screamo, to an extremely brilliant and artsy masterpiece of an album ("the underdark")


PS: it's also fun that they covered one of the band mates former bands, (plus it's an amazing song nonetheleess) Portraits Of Pasts "journeyman" :)

Extra PS: in my own personal opinion, they're not terrible, but they're are not a band I can listen to over and over constantly. It's understandable that people view them as "overrated" but in my post that was just the overall view I see of them when looking over their entire span.

Drummed ONCE, I think I read. Like I said, think. I don't know.

i don't think it's Andy Radin, Andy did bass, i think. that Bajda dude did drums for both FD and PoP. still does drums for Funeral Diner, i think
