Funeral Diner
Funeral Diner was an American screamo band from Half Moon Bay, California, located near San Francisco, that was active from 1998 to 2007. During their last few years as a band, they established a strong cult fanbase through a near constant string of releases and a touring schedule during which they visited the United States, Europe, and Japan.
The band had a large catalog of splits and compilation tracks on various records. They rarely ever pressed CDs, and kept many of their releases in limited quantities and one-time pressings, jumping from label to label. However, their last few major recordings were released by Alone Records. Their final full-length studio album, The Underdark, was released on Alone in 2005.
Members of the band were previously affiliated with other groups, such as Nexus Six, Portraits of Past, Living War Room, Lost Ground, Sheep Squeeze, and Takaru. After the groups breakup, members went on to form various acts, including Stirling Says, ...Who Calls So Loud, Pills, and Lemonade.
Though rooted in first wave emo, hardcore punk and early screamo characteristics, the band later included elements of post-rock. Funeral Diner's albums have attracted significant coverage from rock press outlets.
