XFEST15 BATTLE OF THE BANDS FINALIST: CRITICAL FAILURE

Critical Failure from Bossier City describes themselves as a band that 'focuses on music with an edge but without abandoning discernible, strong melodies and dynamic vocals.'

The band includes: Joseph Benfield on lead vocals, the former singer for Eye of Anger; "Filthy Rich" Kelham on Guitar and Vocals, notable for his involvement in local bands such as The Moulin Dudes, Eye of Anger and others; James "Helfyre" Harrison on Bass Guitar and Backup Vocals, known from numerous other local projects including Kulture Kill, The Moulin Dudes, Tyrants of Steel, Southview and others; JayBee Friday on drums, known for The Moulin Dudes and Eye of Anger.
