Interview: THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT on working with THE RASMUS, storytelling and what’s next for them

The Funeral Portrait recently toured with The Rasmus in Europe. We sat down with frontman Lee Jennings to talk about the band’s rapid growth over the past few months. He reflects on how the tour has been going so far, the experience of collaborating with The Rasmus, what it means to work with bands he has long admired and the value of collaboration as a rising band. We also dive into The Funeral Portrait’s music, including their most recent album "Greetings From Suffocate City". He shares which unexpected artist could bring a surprising twist to their sound, whether fans can expect new music soon, and what direction the band is currently exploring. Beyond the music itself, we discuss the band’s theatrical live performances, their strong focus on storytelling, and how songs continue to evolve when played on stage. We're also looking ahead to their upcoming tour with Three Days Grace, and the possibility of a future European headline tour.
