FAILURE.
The images-
From the last time they appeared at our JBTV Studio back in April 2019.
A pivotal time for JBTV, Jerry Bryant in particular, in the midst of cancer treatments, but still maintaining his thing, doing shows, editing shows, posting shows.
When people ask me what’s some of your favorite bands, whether it be JBTV related or just in general-
And I bring up FAILURE- and they ask why- my answer has gotten edited and refined.
The short answer- “A band that copes- and knows how to persevere.”
More to it than that obviously, their catalog speaks for itself.
Still, the coping part… hard to not get emotional when thinking deeper, and these three cool and awesome men of FAILURE, and responding honestly and sincerely with the “why’s”, if said person has the time.
So here we are, 2 days away from Space Echo with FAILURE at RADIUS.
Easily one of the major events of the year.
Best-

Oxis @‌oxis is an electro-pop siren, immersed in a world of marine life where every song carries the name of a fish. In just three years, she’s flooded the scene with eight albums.

This year she was featured on the @‌seeyounextyear 3 album, and a week ago she released two singles titled Grey Mullet / Scup. Oxis also recently announced a European tour for June, and has been hinting at the release of her next album, Oxis 9.

JBTV exists because of you.

For over 40 years, JBTV has documented the rise of the world’s biggest artists.

A lot has changed since then. The way we discover music, the way we consume it, and the way artists break through looks completely different now. But what hasn’t changed is the need for a place that actually cares about musical artists.

That’s what JBTV has always been.

We’re digging into the archive, spotlighting what’s next, and creating a platform that lives beyond any one format.

To everyone who’s been part of JBTV over the years, and everyone just finding us now, thank you.

We’re just getting started.

SPACE ECHO
Brought to you by the fine folks at Cold Waves Presents.
When this event was announced some six or seven months ago, my jaw hit the floor.
A jolt of lightning, coming with the ever evident announcement on top with Failure.
Failure- alive and breathing still to the present day (thank god), along with Baroness?
Another band like Failure with a pulsating heart of gold, emphasis on sonic sound craft alongside brutal honesty.
Followed by … And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.
A band whose embrace of cinematic scope and feel is unmatched, their music taking deep dives into short film vignettes that leave you transfixed.
And again, as for Failure- C’mon!
A band that encapsulates tension and release of the highest order, over and over and over, song after song, leaving you in a fever dream.
Yeah, I know, kinda wordy.
But to describe this event-
Expect nothing less.
You know where you’ll find me without question on May 2nd at Radius.
One of the major events of the year.
