The Funeral Portrait keep making serious waves. The emo rock revivalists achieved the #1 spot last November on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts with their smash single ‘Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)’ and they’re again enjoying top ten success on the same charts with ‘Holy Water’, that features guest vocals by Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch.
The band – Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Caleb Freihaut (Guitar/auxiliary), Robert Weston(Bass), and Homer Umbanhowar (Drums) – is building on their growing success by releasing the lyric video for ‘Skinny Lies’. The track – sonically bracing and lyrically dark, highlighted by Jennings’ riveting vocal delivery – is one of three brand new songs from the forthcoming deluxe edition release of their second album Greetings From Suffocate City, due out13th June via Better Noise Music.
“‘Skinny Lies’ is about the cracks in a relationship finally breaking open – The little white lies we tell each other stacking up until there’s nowhere left to hide,” explained singer Lee Jennings. “It’s that moment when the truth is out, and you find yourself wishing you could go back to the comfort of not knowing. This song captures the tension, the regret, and the raw emotions that come with facing reality.”
