Funeral Diner - Bag of Holding Tour Support 3"


Tracklist:
01. Addendum
02. I Was The Sword
03. Two More

If You Like: Pianos Become The Teeth, Daïtro, The Saddest Landscape

Funeral Diner best exeplifies the melodic hardcore/screamo genre. It blends the energy of hardcore with the emotion of screamo and an emphasis on decipherable melodies. They carried this style to their successor, ...who calls so loud, but the perfection lies with Funeral Diner. Their songs range from short emo bursts like 'Addendum' (my ringtone) to causing ambivalence through beautiful guitar and drum work and screams. They control this using restraint in some places and harmony in others. They plan it, and it pays off. Their myspace states that Funeral Diner "knows what we're doing." The music tends to be mostly dark, although this album isn't quite as somber as others. Forget A Skylit Drive, this is real screamo. Now click on the picture and give them a chance to be your favorite band. 10/10
