After touring around the UK, their music acclaim has been saluted everywhere. Preston-born band Failsafe came back to their hometown and poured all of their
being, literally, in to their performance.
The gig took place at the Mad Ferret opposite 53 Degrees. Their live performance had a storming presence which graced Prestonians and fellow folk with an unforgotten and truly missed Preston band.
"Have you seen the state of us? It’s like a blood bath…but of sweat" Jim Norris, lead vocals, said as he pointed out to the small puddles of sweat dotted all over the stage floor from their constant head jerking. Jim also didn’t mind getting up close and personal to the fans at the front line and blessed the random lucky fans with his own brand of holy water by jolting around the stage.
Over the last few years their musical talent has long stretched past the boundaries of Preston; and it may not be too long until they break out of the country completely.
They have shared the limelight with other bands such as Paramore, Gallows, Beat Union and many others. If you haven’t seen them or even heard of them, you must see them; they won’t be too hard to find as they are constantly headlining shows around the UK. Just be prepared for an attack of tinnitus on those of you who stand too close to the speakers.
