Songs like "Alien," "Voodoo Doll," "You're So Ugly When You Cry" (featuring The Used's Bert McCracken), and the title track (featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills) fuse the vibrant accessibility of Active Rock with the earnest honesty once screamed at the Warped Tour of the 2000s. Steadily growing since the band's formation in 2014, The Coffin Crew is a worldwide assemblage of devotees united in the shared catharsis of The Funeral Portrait's music. It's a tight-knit fandom built in the spirit of AFI's Despair Faction, the MCRmy, the BVB Army, and Ice Nine Kills' Psychos. It's a diverse and welcoming community bound by perseverance through adversity and heartbreak.

Some grew up loving Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach; others adored My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. The Funeral Portrait excels in the live environment, with visceral and heartfelt sets, as a headliner and while supporting genre titans like Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, and Skillet. They've been invited to perform at major festivals like Aftershock, Louder Than Life, So What?! and Inkcarceration. "There are as many people in the hard rock radio audience that are lonely, sad, and going through difficulties as in the more underground-leaning fandoms," Jennings insists."Our band is about standing up for weirdos and misfits. Because we are weirdos, too."
