Our Funeral Forgotten
High-energy, alternative rock for the darker soul, Our Funeral Forgotten is Mike Sanchez (vocals), Ryan Apodaca (lead guitar), Jeff Orcutt (bass), and Dakota Clark (drums) - four young musical alchemists whose philosopher's stone has conjured a new millennial hybrid now known as "Emo-Metal." Forged in synergy with bands like HIM, Daniel Lioneye, Black Sabbath, Pantera and KISS, and tempered by the spirit of artists like Johnny Cash and Buddy Holly, Our Funeral Forgotten begins its ascent with hard-driving beats, knife-edge guitars and no-holds-barred, heart-on-your-sleeve vocals.
Their self-produced five-cut demo, FALL HERE is a small taste of bigger things to come.
The band has performed at Rock City and Devil's Night in the Colorado Springs area and is looking to add more venues to their list.

Subject: AWESOME SHOW
OUR FUNERAL FORGOTTEN performed live at CLIFFY'S CANTINA the weekend of ST. PATRICKS DAY. These guys blew my expectations away. It was a kick ass show! I went to see them the next week at two other locations to hear them again. They seemed to get better every show I went to and they played an outstanding show the first time I heard them. I hope they come back up here in the Seattle area again. I would definitely recommend everyone go see the show. People I know who saw them agree with when saying; these guys are a great band and do an awesome show.

Semi-Finals in Denver
This was a night packed with energy and excitement. From Axial, Italy Without Venice, Angels of Deception, Blood Born Ashes, and Our Funeral Forgotten, you couldn’t ask for a better line up.
