FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND to release digital EP 'The Young And Defenceless'

It was eight years ago that FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND began to play music based on simple principals: to write songs that connected, songs about their lives, the lives of those around, and to enjoy themselves as they went. In those eight years, quietly, they have chalked up some amazing statistics: the band have sold considerably more than a million records; all four of their albums have gone into the UK Top 20; they have three Gold records; have graced countless magazine covers, been the subject of broadsheet profiles and tabloid features; their tours sell out the nation’s larger venues in a matter of minutes; worldwide – from America to Russia, Singapore to Australia, Japan and beyond – they have a following more loyal than bands considered their equal.

FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND are proud to announce the release of their digital EP 'The Young And Defenceless' and it pretty much sums up the way the world is going: blind ignorance and a lot of too little too late. These songs are a call to arms, a ‘fuck you’ in the face of those who dare sit on their asses and watch everything around them turn to shit.

'The Young And Defenceless' track listings are:

1. Serpents in Solitude
2. Sixteen
3. Damned If You Do, Dead If You Don’t
4. Vultures

"There’s a lot of attitude and a lot of anger and it shows, not just in the amazing artwork by our friend Rianne Rowlands who has pulled out all the stops with her incredible art, but in these 4 ass kicking songs. If you like aggression then you’ve got it, if you like heart on your sleeve emotional power then you’ve got that too. This is just the start, there’s more to come just over that horizon."

'The Young And Defenceless' will be made available digitally on the 10th December.
