Funeral Chic

Funeral Chic is a band out for blood. The blackened crust/hardcore/grindcore amalgam that the North Carolina-based quintet creates is a crazed lightning storm of riffs, pummeling drums and guttural vocals; as raw as they sound on recordings, Funeral Chic are exponentially more feral during live shows. With two releases under their belts since 2014, including the well-praised Hatred Swarm, the band recently finished a two-week tour with WVRM and is preparing to record their debut on Prosthetic Records. Before their first show in New Orleans, we met up and talked about the new album, the punk ethos of country music and HP Lovecraft’s grave.- CVLT Nation TEDDIE TAYLOR
