Failure and all under heaven

LA alt-rock trio Failure (Ken Andrews, Greg Edwards, Kelli Scott): influential, spacey, heavy and atmospheric; reunited in 2014 after 17-year hiatus.

All Under Heaven, from Freehold, New Jersey, formed in 2017 by Nick DeFabritus. This alternative shoegaze band crafts emotive soundscapes, blending heavy guitars with melodicism and synths. Known for their evolving style, they draw influences from Starflyer 59 and The Cure. Their acclaimed debut LP, "What Lies Ahead of Me," features songs like "Alone As Ever" and "She Only Knows," showcasing themes of love and introspection.
