MR0017 is a limited pressing of power group Funeral Fires’s newest EP titled BLOOD OF THE RAT$ released on two vinyl variants. Funeral Fires consists of Adam Cichocki of Gatherers (No Sleep Records), Brandon Gallagher of Coarse (6131 Records), Matt Popowski formerly of Gatherers and currently of Tidal Gloom., and Kyle Galloway formerly of Lakota De Kai/Kingmaker. BLOOD OF THE RAT$ is for fans of noise and revival that corresponds with projects such as Heavy Heavy Low Low, Blood Brothers, and The Jonbenet.

“As you'd probably expect from a hardcore band's debut EP, BLOOD OF THE RAT$ is short but sweet, but it also finds time for quite a bit of musical variety, and it's sequenced in such a way that it feels more like a journey than a collection of songs. And the note it ends on is the definition of "leave them wanting more." - Brooklyn Vegan [Funeral Fires (Gatherers, Coarse) offer up furious, melodic post-hardcore on debut EP (listen)]
