Has anyone died?

Funeral Party are the first band I've been this excited about in a long, long while. Hailing from East LA, I caught wind of them after hearing their single 'NYC Moves To The Sound Of LA' and managed to get hold of their EP. It blew me away at first listen, with second song 'Chalice' drawing me in with the sample intro then blowing my head off when the band kicked in.



Now, as much I'm loving the recent abundance of surf-pop bands coming out of the US, being a big fan of Surfer Blood and with both Best Coast and Wavves getting increasingly more airplay on my iPod, it's safe to say I've always preferred something with a bit more intensity to it, and that is what these guys are, intense. They are practically all I've listened to for the past few days, after finding a few non-EP gems online.

I seriously recommend that you check them out, they kick ass. If you want to see them live, they've only got one UK date lined up, Old Blue Last in London on August 26th.

Ps. I want to be in a band that sounds like this.

Stay peachy,
Elliot.
