The Failers members have played music together in various groups for over 20 years, and have performed in settings ranging from outdoor festivals to coffeehouses. Between our numerous original songs and an eclectic catalog of covers that run the gamut from '50's country to '90's college rock, we have easily 3-4 hours of music. We offer a straight-forward original rock show, padded with choice covers. No gimmicks, minimal banter.
The Failers are a rock n roll band from Indianapolis. Their songs are 3-minute blasts of big hooks, loud guitars, and no apologies. The band consists of former members of acclaimed Indianapolis Americana band Paging Raymond and Odyssey Favor. The Failers released an EP, "All The Dirt And All The Doubt" in 2015 and their first full-length album, "Think You're A Drag" in 2017.
Our set up is two electric guitars, one acoustic guitar, drums, bass, and two vocals.
