Funeral for a Friend / Moments in Grace
Funeral for a Friend / Moments in Grace is a split single by Bridgend, Wales, post-hardcore band Funeral for a Friend and St. Augustine, Florida, alternative rock / post-hardcore band Moments in Grace. It was co-released as a clear-colored 7-inch vinyl by Atlantic Records, Salad Days Records, Mighty Atom Records and Infectious Records on April 20, 2004. The split was released in promotion of an American tour that the two bands shared in April 2004, accompanied by Avenged Sevenfold and My Chemical Romance. Funeral for a Friend's song, "Bullet Theory", was previously released on the band's debut full-length album Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation, while Moments in Grace's song, "My Dying Day", was scheduled to appear on the band's forthcoming debut full-length album Moonlight Survived. At the time of the split's release, neither song had been officially released in the United States. Composition and recording 
Moments in Grace's contribution, "My Dying Day", was one of sixteen songs that the band recorded for its full-length album, Moonlight Survived. The album was recorded over the span of two months, from June to August 2003, with producer Brian McTernan at his Salad Days studio in Beltsville, Maryland. Unhappy with the way Moonlight Survived sounded, the band returned to Salad Days in November 2003 to re-record some of the material, record a couple of extra songs, and fully re-mix the release. Release and packaging 

Funeral for a Friend's "Bullet Theory" had already been released on the band's debut album  Casually Dressed & Deep in Conversation through Mighty Atom Records in the United Kingdom, but had yet to be officially released in the United States. On the other hand, Moments in Grace's "My Dying Day" had not been released, though it was scheduled to appear on the band's forthcoming debut album Moonlight Survived, originally planned for release in May 2004, but ultimately delayed until August 17, 2004. The split 7-inch vinyl was co-released through Atlantic Records, Salad Days Records, Mighty Atom Records and Infectious Records, on April 20, 2004. In promotion of the release, webzine Ultimate Guitar held a giveaway contest for five winners to receive a record and a signed poster. When Moonlight Survived was eventually released, all pre-orders placed through online retailer Smartpunk received a free copy of the split 7-inch vinyl. Touring
