Funeral Diner was a screamo band from Half Moon Bay, California, near San Francisco. They were active from 1998 to 2007 and built a devoted following through frequent releases and tours in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The band released many splits and compilation tracks, often in very limited runs, and they moved between labels several times. Their last major recordings appeared on Alone Records, including their 2005 full-length The Underdark. Members had previous ties to Nexus Six, Portraits of Past, Living War Room, Lost Ground, Sheep Squeeze, and Takaru. After breaking up, they went on to form Stirling Says, ...Who Calls So Loud, Pills, and Lemonade. Their sound began rooted in first-wave emo, hardcore punk, and early screamo, later incorporating post-rock elements. Funeral Diner’s albums received substantial attention from rock press outlets.
