Exceptional Failures

Brazenly raw emotion and headbanging blues, soul, and rock overflow in the dynamic sound of Exceptional Failures. The PDX two piece, made up of singer/guitarist Corey Distler and drummer Damian, shatter expected limitations of a duo with heavy riffs and fiery, unpredictable solo breaks. Corey's poignant lyrics, often drenched in the darkness or spiritual worth of humankind, are delivered with heart-wrenching intensity while Damian’s commanding drum power propels them through their explorative arrangements. Corey and Damian met in high school, and started playing music together after Damian got out of the Marine Corps in 2019. After a few experimental house shows, they adopted a unique style. Corey seamlessly transitioning between bass, rhythm and lead parts and Damian favoring frequent fills, solos and drum breaks. Find more EF content at www.exceptionalfailures.com
