i think its prolly more along the lines of bush and nirvana, both bands came
out at a similar time with very similar influences, both bands listened to
the pixies, my bloody valentine, sebadoh  and so on and so forth, i dont
hear much nirvana influence in failure at all, perhaps its only because the
only band who plays loud power corded rock that wasnt quite punk and wasnt
quite metal, that everyone in the world knows of was nirvana, so needless to
say people are gonna equate anything that falls into that broad genre of
artists with nirvana

still alive and screaming - out of key (slightly)

Call me wacky....but....I hear many Nirvana influenced parts in Failure,
too.  It may not be a "hit you between the eyes" influence, but it is
more in subtle ways.  Their songs just have a certain way that they run
that are similar.  Some of the guitar work seems to run along the same
lines.  It's more of a connection with some of the In Utero (sp?) stuff.
Go back and listen to that Nirvana cd and then listen to Failure, you
may be surprised.  Then again, maybe I'm just looney!!!  Both bands are
brilliant.  There's no denying that, even if you don't care much for
Nirvana's music.
