Funeral Diner (1998–2007) was a screamo band from Half Moon Bay, California, located approximately 25 miles south of San Francisco, playing self-described "screamy, chaotic, melodic hardcore."[1] During the last few years, the band has established a strong cult fanbase through a near constant string of releases and a touring schedule which has seen them visit the United States, Europe, and Japan.[2][3]

The band has a large catalog of splits and compilation tracks on various records, rarely pressing CDs, and keeping many of their releases in limited quantities and one-time pressings, jumping from label to label, though their last few major recordings have been released by Alone Records.[4][5] Their most recent full-length, The Underdark, was issued on Alone in 2005.[6]

Members in the band have previously affiliated with other groups such as Nexus Six, Portraits of Past,[7] Living War Room, Lost Ground, Sheep Squeeze, and Takaru. After the breakup, members have gone on to form Stirling Says, ...Who Calls So Loud, Pills and Lemonade.

Though rooted in first wave emo, hardcore emo and early screamo characteristics, the band later included elements of post-rock.[8] Funeral Diner's albums have attracted significant coverage from rock press outlets.[9]
