Senior VP International Wally Van Middendorp states: "We are looking forward to working
with Funeral for a Friend and value their
understanding of the importance of New Media
approaches in our campaigns. Overall
we are very encouraged to be taking their
developments further in our territories and
share a strong global focus."
"At the risk of it sounding like a
calculated press release I can honestly say thatRoadrunner Records were THE label
that got me into hard rock and heavy metal
growing up. Having come full circle and
established our own record label, it feels
great to be working alongside people who
have been responsible for putting out some
of my favorite records of all time"
- Ryan
Richards, Drums
"Look up Heavy Rock or Metal in the
music dictionary and you'll find the name 'Roadrunner Records' next to it - they helped define both those genres
by releasing a ton of classic albums that
sit at the top of my list of favourites! It's
gonna be amazing to work with them and am
looking forward to a successful relationship
together"
- Darran
Smith, Guitars
At the time of this announcement,
FFAF are in the studio recording their already
much-anticipated new full length album, slated
for release late 2008. 'Waterfront
Dance Club’ and 'Beneath The
Burning Tree' will be Funeral For A
Friend's fans first chance to hear the band’s
newly invigorated current sound, being released
as a double a-side download single in
Winter of 2008. Drawing fire from
the muscular intensity of their earlier material
and melding it seamlessly to the melodic
intelligence of latter albums 'Hours’ and ‘Tales Don't Tell Themselves',
this new material shows the band to be as
incisively relevant as ever
