About Me


Failures Art is an indie rock band that bleeds its passion into the music they play. Accompanying Joe Yunckes are Andrew Kraemer, Chris Cacciato, Scott Lilley and Jason Murray. Andrew is a powerful guitarist who can captivate a crowd with his wall of sound and turn music into feeling with the strum of his guitar. Chris Cacciato is a controlled and creative drummer who adds a unique blend of hard-hitting anticipation to any song. Scott Lilley highlights Yunckes' lyrics with his melodic vocals and impressive keyboard technique. Jason Murray is a not-so-typical bass player who refuses to blend into the background but isn't afraid to blend into the music. They recently released The Surgery EP. which is available through iTunes
