A documentary about cult Los Angeles alt. rock band Failure is to air later this month, almost a decade on from when it was first announced.
Every Time You Lose Your Mind, directed by the band’s singer and driving force Ken Andrews, will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on June 27.
A band ahead of their time, Failure never achieved more than cult success in the 1990s, despite scoring positive reviews from critics and numerous endorsements from their peers: their 1996 album Fantastic Planet is one of the most under-rated records of the decade. A year after its release, the band split, with its promise frustratingly unfulfilled.
"It was a good period for some bands, but not to us," Andrews told Metal Hammer in 2015, a year after the band reformed . "Our sound was confusing to a lot of people. It was confusing to records labels, it was confusing to press and it was confusing to a lot of fans."
In the documentary, some of the band's most high profile fans - Tool's Maynard James Keenan, Paranore's Hayley Williams, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Mastodon's Troy Sanders among them - salute Andrews' band, as do producers/musicians Steve Albini, Butch Vig and fans within the worlds of film and television.
