I can’t wait until i get another guitar so i can start playing and singing this song. Currently in Rehab and this song was on repeat my last relapse. Perfectly encapsulated my life. Great song, great band. Magnified is my favorite album but Fantastic Planet is probably their best.

For those of you like me that like heavier stuff, Check out Chat Pile. I hear a definite Failure influence on them

Imagine a Greg Edwards solo album.

Disclaimer: I love Ken and Kelli and those 3 make Failure so special. But I just fantasize about a soft Greg album with piano and acoustic

Imagine what a Greg solo album could be, given he’s written all these gems(not in any order)

  1. Pineal Electorate
  2. mulholland drive
  3. Half moon
  4. change my head(Autolux)
  5. high chair (Autolux)
  6. space song
  7. dirty blue balloons

Made a Failure centric playlist

Happy Friday everyone! Made a playlist featuring my favorite Failure tracks as well as space-rock / grungegaze adjacent bands such as Hum, Shiner to Cloakroom. Enjoy!

Cover Shrine in russian

My first try, I know it's not too good but lyrics means a lot to me. And Failure became one of reason why i started writing songs.

Merch Store?

Like title, I'm a new-ish failure fan and have been loving their music a lot, but was curious if they have an online storefront where I can buy merch. I see a website https://www.hellomerch.com/collections/failure but I'm not sure if it's legit. If anyone knows of an official store or if the linked site is legit that'd be great :) Thanks in advance!!

Failure's website down?

It seems the failureband.com website is down/gone.

I see their hellomerch store is still up, and their site page wasn't much more than a redirect to it. Still concerning.

Anybody have a take on this?

Counterfeit Sky meaning?

I keep listening to this song and, got the life of me, I still don't understand it. Any thoughts on what it means?
