Failsafe is a modern rock band from Kansas City that was formed in late 2007 by vocalist/guitarist Dylan Maloney. The band, originally a trio consisting of Maloney and long-time friends Nick Faulconer (drums) and Nathan Long (bass), soon added guitarist Chris Ellis to the team in search of a fuller sound. After playing various shows to gain recognition around the KC area, Failsafe released a demo in early 2008 that spun the band into motion. Following the release of the demo, Maloney made the decision to focus solely on his vocal performance and guitarist Brett Johnson was recruited to complete the band. With a strong new line-up, energetic live performances, and catchy, hard-hitting songs, Failsafe is rapidly gaining popularity not only in the Kansas City area, but also online where their song “Losing Your Grace” is currently making its way toward the top of numerous internet rock charts. All this buzz makes Failsafe a band to watch for in the future. Check out Failsafe on MySpace at www.myspace.com/failsafekc
