All The Rage. Funeral For A Friend guitar legend, emo fringe pionear and dad joke expert, Darran Smith, is our guest on Episode 170 of Sappenin' Podcast! The six-string slinger takes us for a ride through his musical journey, tour burnouts and returning to the spotlight with this new era of FFAF. In this conversation, Darran opens up on the bands reunion, originally leaving in 2010, how it's a much more relaxed atmosphere, dealing with the early day success of their first three albums, his nine years away, why the guitar partnership of himself and Kris Roberts was so complimentary, insane road memories, inspiring a generation of alternative bands, taking My Chemical Romance out as support on their first UK tour, Download Festival 2022, having to deal with stalking fans (aka Sean), crowd reactions, legacy, bucket list goals, regrets, playing with Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, the future and more! Turn it up and join Sean and Morgan to find out Sappenin' this week!
