INTERVIEW: The Funeral Portrait’s Lee Jennings for MusicFiends.com!

Music Fiends’ Michael Mullenix recently caught up with Lee Jennings, frontman of the Funeral Portrait, before their sold-out show at Austin’s Come and Take It Live. Currently on tour with Catch Your Breath, Archers, and If Not For Me, the guys discuss the tour, upcoming music, and of course, the best roadside store in Texas: Buc-ee’s! Includes live performance of “Suffocate City.” The Funeral Portrait is a high-octane blend of metal, punk, and goth, formed in 2015 in Atlanta, and they’ve been cranking up the chaos ever since. With a perfect balance of dark energy and snarky fun, they’re known for delivering anthems that hit hard and make you laugh (sometimes nervously). Their latest album, Greetings From Suffocate City, landed them at #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, thanks to their killer single “Suffocate City” (featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills). After being named one of Alternative Press’ “100 Bands You Need to Know” and a spot on Pandora’s Artists to Watch 2025: The Pandora Ten list, it’s clear that The Funeral Portrait is just getting started. Their mission? To create a space for the outcasts - the weird, the misunderstood, the marginalized - and to make sure everyone feels like they belong. With their theatrical flair, unapologetic lyrics, and stage presence that’ll leave you buzzing, The Funeral Portrait is more than a band…they’re a whole damn experience.
