biographical info
Led by water-tight beats, nimble melodic bass lines, an assault of dynamic guitars, and chameleonic vocals, The Failure’s sound is one part aggro-pop, one part punk, and one part grade six science experiment. One might liken the group to a melody-driven post-hardcore act influenced by Queen or Rush.
Two years after crowning the local radio’s top twenty, headlining to local crowds of over 600, opening the Vans Warped tour date at home, showcasing at the Canadian Music Week festival, being invited to showcase at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and touring western Canada twice, The Failure is poised to push their sophomore album: …of reason. The album’s opening track Greymoment has been shot for a music video and will be released in early 2005 as part of the band’s winter promotional plan. Considering the prolific nature of this band’s work within the last two years and the live performance they’ve grown to present, one might do well to keep their ears and eyes open for The Failure’s next resolve.
