Declare Your Funeral formed in Northern California in 2009, starting as a trio with Justin Pearson on vocals and guitar, Adam Richardson on bass, and Jason Burns on drums. They put out their first album, Ashes to Ashes, the following year.
Their song 'Amnesia' became a particular point of connection for listeners, a ballad that dealt with memory and emotional weight. The band followed it with albums like Dysphoric in 2012 and Deconstruct in 2015, which included tracks such as 'The Rebuilding Process' and 'The Truth'.
In 2013, Pearson was diagnosed with cancer, which led to a break in their activity. He recovered and returned to the band, and they released Self-Destruct in 2017. Their work often circled themes of personal struggle and change, heard in songs like 'Have And Be' and 'Life Awaits'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
