Funeral For A Friend and Boysetsfire are releasing a 7″ split on No Sleep Records with a twist: each band is covering a song by the other. The band has chosen to cover “Rookie,” from Boysetsfire’s After The Eulogy.

When asked about the song selection process, FFAF vocalist Matt Davies-Kreye said, “When it came down to figuring out what Boysetsfire track we wanted to cover it wasn’t easy. We all had our favorites but we just had to figure out which song collectively made sense. After The Eulogy is such an inspirational record and we all love ‘Rookie,’ it’s probably the most recognisable Boysetsfire song and we figured because of it’s connection with people, we should give it a shot. We recorded it in a day. It was so much fun to play; it’s such an anthem.”
