The northwest of the UK has always had a great reputation for producing the best music and this is no exception. With James Norris (vocals, keys), Andy Sprake (bass), Simon Humphries (guitar), Matt Cogley (guitar) and Rob Catlow (drums) the collective sound and direction of the band has always defied one genre and appealed to so many. The band have spent the last few years touring continuously; perfecting songs, their live act and building an extremely solid, devoted and ever-expanding national fan-base. 2008 has seen them embark on extremely successful UK and European tours pulling 200+ crowds on headlining shows and immediately being invited back. Recently Failsafe has shared stages with the likes of Paramore, Beat Union, Cute is What We Aim For, A Wilhelm Scream, The Bouncing Souls, Gallows, Boy Sets Fire, Armour For Sleep, and Anti-Flag.
Snapped up by Deck Cheese Records, debut album ‘What We Are Today’ was released in late 2005 receiving great reviews from mainstream rock press. Sophomore album (on Smalltown Records) ‘The Truth Is…’c9’ has followed this trend and first single ‘Hope’ has been played on Xfm, Radio 1, Kerrang amongst other national stations and the video has aired on E4 Music, Mtv2, Kerrang tv, Scuzz, NME tv and was also in the Mtv2 Myspace Top 10 for over a month. 

There are high expectations and a lot of excitement from industry and fans alike for even more from this group.

Already with 2 hugely successful Maida Vale BBC live sessions and an Xfm session planned for January this group are ready, fully capable and on the verge of being the UKs next huge act.

Second single and follow-up video from ‘The Truth Is…’c9’ is due Mar 09.
