Music Is My Weapon

Funeral For A Friend is one of the better known post hardcore groups out of the UK, as evidence shows on a few tracks of their major label debut Hours. However, this album is somewhat dissapointing in that it doesn't have any focus to it. The energy of their past releases isn't as strong here, and many of the slower melodic songs are boring and lack any emotion. An average release from a good band.

Informed by the full-gale force of hardcore punk and metal, yet infused with a poignant, provacative melodic sensibility, Funeral For A Friend have won fans from both sides of the pond by touring relentlessly and winning fans over one by one. Hours showcases the band's musical abilities and innovation while delivering some of the most tuneful songs of their career.
