I Fight Fail currently resides in Canton, OH. Canton is a pretty typical
Midwest city, but is known mostly for the NFL Hall of Fame. However,
the city does have a thriving arts and entertainment district, too. Plus, the
city is located a mere 60 miles south of Cleveland. This allows bands
from Canton plenty of opportunities to play. I Fight Fail has performed
with Pop Evil, Hawthorne Heights, and Go Radio. But, in my opinion their
success and potential lies within their own sound. This sound, as the
band claims, has been a musical evolution since 2014. The alternative
rockers consist of music veterans Andy Potter (vocals), Anthony Carter
(drums), and Daryl Johnson (guitar).

I Fight Fail originally began in 2006, but per their bio, they “found their
sound in the summer of 2013.” Their perseverance and hard work paid
off with the release of their first EP in 2014, “Move Me.” This project
caught the attention of Standby Records, who subsequently signed the
band and released their 2nd EP, “Voyages and Vantage Points” in 2016.
But, alas, this is all looking back. I prefer to look forward. You can check
their new video out here: https://youtu.be/gpPVI2Y1_5s

Speaking of new…I Fight Fail will not disappoint with “Silhouettes.” It
brings their evolved sound to the forefront and will ensure their fans stay
happy, plus win them new ones. A band that has been around like they
have only proves their passion, drive, and desire. I expect you will be
able to catch them throughout the Midwest in 2019. I also assume that
more new music will be released. I strongly suggest if you get a chance
to catch them live, you should do so. They have been around a while for
a reason. That reason to me is obvious -- they are extremely talented.

In the meantime, I will keep swinging for the fences. I’ll be sure to tip my
cap as I cross home plate with our next ReverbNation Featured Artist.
