We’ve opened up a Patreon page – opening up the opportunity for you to help us to continue to create music and get an inside look at our process. The pandemic and inability to play live shows made me realize that to sustain this parade we need some new strategies. Head over to check out our first post which gets you behind the scenes in the studio with the full band while we record a new SF song. Really excited to offer up our Patreon page. Check it out!
The band is taking orders now for personalized recordings…pick your song and we record a one-of-a-kind unique recording directly to clear 7″ vinyl via a 50s era lathe cut machine. You know something similar to what Neil Young and Jack White have done. Your record will be the only extant version of this performance. We let you pick any song in our catalog. Follow the link to learn more and to place your order.
“The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal.” - July 2020, Rock is the New Roll
In less than a year from their last LP, Trenton-based The Successful Failures return with a new nine-song collection, “Pack Up Your Shadows.” READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE.
A really cool music blog based in the Netherlands compiled a really sweet list of the best powerpop songs of the last 20 years. This is a legit list featuring some of our favorite bands like Sloan, Fountains of Wayne, Nada Surf, Weezer, Cheap Trick, Michael Carpenter, and Cliff Hillis as well as many more (well yeah…obviously 100 songs!). Anyway, the editors selected “Hit the Ground Running” from our 2014 album Captains of Industry, Captains of War as NUMBER 40. What an honor! Check out the list here. It’s a fun read!
