Interview With The Funeral Portrait Bassist Robert Weston

I was recently introduced to an incredible project by The Funeral Portrait called Greetings From Suffocate City, and it instantly caught my attention. It was so intriguing that I had to chat with their bassist, Robert Weston. Since forming in 2014, the band has been pouring their heart into their music... and this latest project feels like the powerful culmination of all those years of hard work and dedication.

Join me as we hear about Robert’s musical journey, details about this cool project, how he gets his sound, how his bass got teeth marks, and the band’s plans for the future!
