Summary
In 1997 Failure had it all; a growing legion of fans, a community of supportive artists and a fantastic creative effort in the album "Fantastic Planet".
Then....they broke up.
Nearly 20 years later they mended fences, personally and creatively, and began the next chapter, releasing the album "The Heart is a Monster" and now touring the US and beyond. Today we talk to Kellii Scott of the band about the arc of the band and their recent return to studio and stage.
If you like records, just starting a collection or are an uber-nerd with a house-full of vinyl, this is the podcast for you. Nate Goyer is The Vinyl Guide and discusses all things music and record-related.
