We’re home from tour and we had a great time. Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and helped us out in any way. We really appreciate it, and we hope to go out again soon.
In other news we have parted ways with Paper & Plastick, so they will not be releasing the Tethering LP. We do have it’s release in the works and all the information will be announced soon. We are planning on it being out early next year. Until that time you can order the CD or cassette of it (and our other albums) from our merch page. We are also clearing out some of our old shirt designs, so you can get them for $5 a piece while you’re at it.
We’re happy to announce that we have a new album coming out this fall called “Tethering.” Paper & Plastick will be putting out the vinyl and we will be releasing CDs and cassettes on our own Sheets of Tens label. Our good friend Dave Dluga made us a video for the song “Between” and you can watch it here.
In addition to the new album, we will be hitting the road this September in the northeast.

Today Tony’s solo album “Grim Repair” was released. It’s a split release between One Percent Press and Sheets of Tens. You can order it for $5 from either of those labels or from our merch page. It has 13 songs that were written and recorded before Sinker came out. About half of these songs ended up becoming Failures’ Union songs.
In sadder news, Mohawk Place (our home in Buffalo) is closing down next month due to a handful of reasons. It is a bar/club/venue that has meant a lot to all of us in the band. We’re proud to have been asked to play the last show on January 13th. It’s a part of a two day send off that is going to be complete insanity. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon and they are $10 per day.
Things have been quiet from us. We’ve slowly but surely been writing and recording our new record. We finally started mixing it, so it will hopefully be done soon. To take a break from that we did a session with Paul Besch at Quiet Country Audio. We recorded four songs live (two with video, two just audio). You can check them out here.
In other news, on September 27th we’ll be playing with The Jealous Sound at Mohawk Place. We played our first show with them back in 2004, so it’s great to be playing with them again. Also playing is Tony’s other band, Returners.
We’re home from tour now. We saw a lot of friends, played some rad shows, and got guns in our faces/bashed against our heads. Overall a good time. Thanks to everyone involved, but a special thanks to Christian for filling in on drums for us. He was a real champ, and it was great having him along. Now back to working on/recording the new album.
We leave for our east coast/Fest tour tomorrow. Unfortunately Blake got into some trouble with the law, so he’s in the hut for a couple of weeks. We picked up our friend Christian in Michigan and he’s going to be playing drums for us. Hopefully we’ll see a bunch of you in the upcoming weeks.
We decided to take a break from writing/recording the new album and we’re going to be playing at Mohawk Place with White Whale and Hunger Anthem on May 27th. If you’re in the Buffalo area come on out and hang out.
We finally got around to creating a Band Camp page. We have most of our releases streaming for free on there (In What Way, Sinker, You Know Who, Bedford Falls split, Cheap Girls split, as well as a three song live ep from Southampton, UK). Go over to http://failuresunion.bandcamp.com/ and check them out. If you like what you hear, you can purchase the digital downloads for cheap. You can also buy the physical records and cds from the merch section of this page.
