“My mom hates our band’s name,” explains guitarist Dean Rudd of The Failure.
It seems only fair for a rock band to face that kind of resistance, especially when The Failure’s beginnings have been so successful.
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 progressive post-punk act influenced by Queen or The Beach Boys.
A year and a half after hitting the number two position on the local radio’s top twenty, headlining to local crowds of over 600, opening the Vans Warped tour, touring western Canada twice, and playing the prestigious CMW festival in Toronto, The Failure is poised to launch their sophomore album: …of reason. Given the pace at which these guys are accomplishing all this, one would do well to stay tuned.
