Funeral For A Friend To Release New EP Via Pledge Music

May 4, 2010
Funeral For A Friend To Release New EP Via Pledge MusicFuneral For A Friend are to release a new fan-funded EP via Pledge Music later this year.

The Welsh rockers are asking their fans to 'pledge' towards the making of a brand new as yet untitled EP which the fans will receive in return when it's released.

The band are set to record the new limited-edition EP in June and it will be released exclusively via Pledge Music.

As well as receiving the EP, Funeral For A Friend pledgers will be entered into a draw to win the following:

  • Signed and personalized copies of the new EP and exclusive pledgers only t-shirts
  • Exclusive pledgers only live shows in London and Cardiff
  • A chance to hang out with the band at a soundcheck and help drink their rider
  • A chance to conduct an interview the band on camera which will be posted on their website
  • A chance to get a name check in the credits for the new EP
  • An opportunity to sing backing vocals on the band's new album
  • A one-on-one guitar lesson with the bands guitarist Kris Coombs-Roberts

A percentage of profits made from Funeral For A Friend's release will go to a selection of their favourite charities including PETA, Teenage Cancer Trust and The Rainbow Trust Children's Charity.

Malcolm Dunbar, Managing Director of Pledge Music said, "Funeral for a Friend are one of the UK's premier rock bands with a large and enthusiastic fanbase.

“Using Pledge Music to work directly with their fans make complete sense for a band like this and we are delighted and honoured that they have chosen to use our platform to release their new EP and offer some great incentives to their followers."

You can make a pledge at Pledge Music right now. No money will be taken from you until the entire pledge target set by FFAF is met.
