Hailing from Western, PA, namely NewCastle, is usually one, possibly two, strikes against any band of
any caliber. When All Else Fails has stepped beyond the nonsense inherent in that town’s music scene; the same nonsense and
tough guy acts that has buried many notable bands in obscurity. If they can keep their heads above all
that, then this demo is just the beginning of what could be a successful band. The strongest track here has got to be “Home”. It
starts a little sloppy but jumps into a sound that is reminiscent of the all mighty Downset, mainly brought about by Justin Lloyd’s vocal attack and emotional lyrics. This young band has much potential lurking just
under the surface, with stepped-up production, ie. bigger vocals, crunchier guitar and thicker drum
sound. sKitZo is listed as playing bass, but I’ll be damned if I hear any in these tracks. The drummer
is competent, however, not very innovative which is probably the weakest part of these songs.
Overall a good - nah, scratch that, great effort. I can’t wait to hear the studio versions of these songs
along with all the new material. - Empire Extreme Magazine

Bio
Spawned out of friendships, blood, commitment, and an equal passion for music and its expressions, When All Else Fails, formed in early 2005. Each member, being as diverse as they are in their influences and backgrounds, came together and meshed to make a musical style which includes hints of, metal, punk, alternative, rock, as well as many other styles. Since the birth of this "motley crew's" existence together, they have overcome quite a bit of hardships along the way. Some line up changes, financial problems and family deaths. Yet, regardless of these obstacles, have bound together to become a stronger and better band.
Through trial and error, brothers Erick(guitar) and Hector(drums), had decided to take their musical careers into a more satisfying direction. After a trying search they found what they believed to be the perfect elements to this band. With combined influences and styles ranging from different genres of music, different life experiances, different musical upbringing, and passion for creating and doing something they love....music!! And it is from this that they started working together to form their own original sound.
In just under 6 years this band has accomplished a great deal of local recognition and support spanning from western to eastern Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and lower New York, opening for numerous (30+) national acts along this hard, yet fun and amazing journey.
