Failures’ Union to release new record on Paper + Plastick, tour with Cheap Girls!

Buffalo’s Failures’ Union have just recorded a new album entitled “In What Way,” to be released this fall on Paper + Plastick. The band has also leaked two new songs from the album via their MySpace page. You can listen to “The Fall Man” and “Comb” right here.

The band describes themselves as a mid-90’s influenced indie rock band, and has gained comparisons to The Lemonheads, Gin Blossoms, Buffalo Tom, Guided By Voices, The Pixies, and Counting Crows.

Failures’ Union features members of Lemuria, The Exit Strategy, and The Grail. They recently released a split 7″ with Cheap Girls on Art of the Underground. Their previous album, Sinker was released on One Percent Press. Other releases include an 8-song EP on Art of the Underground entitled You Know Who and a 2-song 7″ in the Art of the Underground Singles Series.

You can also check out some live footage of them from this past March here.

Failures’ Union will be touring this fall with good buddies and label mates Cheap Girls, with stops at THE FEST 8 in Gainesville, FL and FUN FUN FUN FEST in Austin, TX.
