the sound of failure played our last show in philadelphia PA on january 8, 2005. thank you to all the people who came out, and helped us kill it, at that show and all the hundreds of shows before.
jared, joe, ron, and mark have formed a new band called distress signal. they are aware that this is basically the same band. visit them at faceyspace. mark, ron, joe, and tom (from robot attack) played a single show as irukandji in november of 2005 and then promptly broke up. no evidence exists of this, but trust us, we wouldn't lie about something so insignifigant.
ron and joe play in shitpig . ron also plays drums in the metal band dirt worshipper. . jared plays guitar in rawar , runs lowest fidelity, and is very active in the experimental/noise scene. mark gets married all the time and manufactures great effects pedals under the name earthbound audio.
RELEASES:
the party is over cd | ed walters records / cheap art records | fall 2004 | $9.00 ppd
a total shitstorm of chaos and noise. a radio transmission from a battleship at the bottom of the sea. freight trains derailing, etc. recorded at skylight studios in the drug infested slum of fairless hills, PA by the fearless vincent ratti & the omniscient rachel minton. we paid for recording by washing vince's bentley and betting on illegal cock fighting & bare knuckle boxing.
split 7" with affirmative action jackson| dine alone records | summer 2004 | $3.50 ppd
more scary bullshit from the same session as "the party is over." two old songs pounded out at the end of a long, bleary recording session, and an ill-advised skwebald cover that would cause jeff nelson's hair to grow back if he ever had to hear it. also, it should be duly noted that in addition to being "Three Great Dudes," the wild men of AAJ are probably the best american hardcore band since Old Skull.
split 7" w/ the great clearing off (sea of steel 2) | ed walters records | fall 2002 | $3.50 ppd
two total gems on this one. recording took over 7 months, at a cost of nearly $680,000. by the time it was over colin was out of the band and the rest of us were divorced.
distress signal 7" | when humans attack! records | fall 2001 | $3.50 ppd
this is the kind of music people that grew up in the forest would make. four songs, three samples. mid-tempo pummeling mixed with chaotic bits of chaotic chaos. "cool hand luke" sample stolen back from guns n roses.
s/t cd | breathmint records | spring 2000 | sold out
this looks like a bad emo-pop record but is, in fact, a bad hardcore record. 9 songs in under 20 minutes...it's noisy and abrasive, and mixed in mono for god knows what reason... if you want to own this messy record, TOO BAD! it has become UNAVAILABLE.
"asshole" t-shirt | sizes yl-xl | $7.50 ppd
let me give you a word of advice: if you are a starving, third-rate, d.i.y. hardcore band about to go on tour with no money or no van, DO NOT EVER make about a million t-shirts that say "you are an asshole" on them. NOTE: size small currently unavailable.
"skulls" t-shirt | sizes yl-xl | $7.50 ppd
skulls are cool. but this is not a crusty-ass punk shirt. it has sleeves. it gets washed. you probably should, too, you filthy animal.
sickers and pins free with any order or send $1 plus a self-addressed stamped envelope.
