Debutants Hit The Spot

Funeral Party 'The Golden Age of Knowhere'

At first listen, you may well be tempted to focus your attention to singles 'New York moves to the sound of L.A.' 'Finale' and 'Just Because'..
and we're all guilty of it, but with further listening the realisation of consistency becomes apparent.
The energising grooves, thumping drums and repetitive vocals hooks, all delivered with an unmistakable American resonance are reminiscent of
emo/punk pleasure likened with 'The Used' 'Taking Back Sunday' and 'Brand New'.
The gravely vocal of lead singer Chad Elliot's L.A. inflection works with and against the pop-electro edge in an assortment only found
if you placed Kurt Cobain and 80's synth pop in your washing machine.
The combination of subtle synths and keyboard work throughout their debut album effort 'The Golden Age of Knowhere'  kicks Funeral Party firmly into the market and undoubtedly
many peoples record collections.
The result is an ideal soundtrack for any fusion of events life may throw your way, this album will prepare you for the best and worst times...the rest is up to you.
