Brazenly raw emotion and headbanging psychedelia overflow in the dynamic sound of Exceptional Failures. The PDX two piece, made up of singer/guitarist Corey Distler and drummer Dambo, shatter expected limitations of a duo with heavy riffs and fiery, unpredictable solo breaks. Distler’s poignant lyrics, often drenched in the darkness or spiritual worth of humankind, are delivered with heart-wrenching intensity while Dambo’s commanding drum power propels them through their explorative arrangements.
