Video: Funeral For A Friend go The Distance

FFAF: tiredness can kill – take a break

Funeral For A Friend unleash second single from forthcoming album Conduit.

The Distance is a song about one particular gruelling tour endurance test FFAF went through – and the accompanying music video reflects experiences on the road in a grotty van as a five-piece.

As vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye puts it: “The Distance is a song about being in a van, on tour travelling around in foreign countries during the summer and going crazy because the van only had one small window that would open and no air conditioning.”

Hmm… Sounds a bit like the Classic Rock office. Except we can’t open any windows.

Conduit, the follow-up to 2011’s Welcome Home Armageddon, is due out on February 25.
