Funeral For My Chemical Valentine

Funeral For My Chemical Valentine (2006-2008) were an Alternative Rock band from Aberdeen,Scotland. In the space of two years the 4 piece released two full length albums and an e.p. Quentin Smith (Vocals, Guitar), Darius Taylor (Vocals,Bass), Phil McCracken (Guitar) and Richard Snork (Drums) Managed to create a fusion of Emo influences and combine it with Folk and Jazz to surprising effect.

After e.p "My Bleeding Heart With A Bullet" (independently recorded) the band was joined by fifth member Craig (Crazy Socks) Schmidt (Synth.) the band enjoyed a succesful British tour and in the summer of 2007 released album "Go And Nae Hurt Me Emotionally" on Yoohoo records. Which dissapointed fans as the production was said to be "too clean". Nevertheless the band recieved much acclaim and even entered the charts at #37 with single "Lying Is The Most Black Parade Thing An All-American Reject Can Do Without Dying Romantic"

Another tour took place but the band struggled to find supoport in America and returned home to Britain to find a surprise, their gigs were becoming less populated. There seemed to be no real reason for this and it did not bring any serious concerns until the next album "Take To The Disco Under The Cork Tree". This album recieved little attention and did not even make its way into the Billboard charts.

After an unsuccesful tour with many bust-ups between members it was agreed the band would break up. Since, Taylor and McCracken have went on to form Grindcore band "KillSlashRape". Meanwhile Richard Snork died in a bizarre trouser malnfunction incident.
