As always with my Tuesday up-and-coming bands posts , I focus on bands with under 500,000 monthly streams on Spotify, hopefully you discover new music along with me on this journey. Catch the songs from this in the Fox Reviews Rock Spotify Playlist.
Background Information
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, The Funeral Portrait is a rock band that knows how to pull at your emotions. With Lee Jennings on vocals, Cody Weissinger on guitar, Robert Weston on bass, Homer Umbanhower on drums, and Caleb Freihaut on keyboards/guitar, their music is a rollercoaster of a listen. From punk vibes to prime emo melodies, and even a touch of stadium rock, they have a little something for everyone.
The band, started in 2014, has shared the stage with industry veterans such as Pvris, Escape the Fate, and Issues. Their recent surge in new music has me eagerly anticipating the band’s future direction. Notably, they have released two singles featuring Spencer Charnas from Ice Nine Kills on “Suffocate City” and Bert McCracken from The Used on “You’re So Ugly When You Cry”. With anthemic songs and theatrical live performances, make me extremely eager to catch them in concert!
The band’s Spotify page declares their mission to ” Represent the outcasts from all walks of life ” and ” Offer a space to belong and feel safe and be accepted for our differences”. “. Count me in as one of those weird kids! It looks like the 387,000 monthly listeners are on board too!
