It's no secret that Failure is a massively inspirational band for so many, so I was thrilled to discuss their song-writing process, effects, gear, and more with Greg Edwards in this one on one interview. Failure just today released their new album "Wild Type Droid".  It is available wherever you listen to music, but OBVIOUSLY you should buy direct through The Official Failure Merch Page here. If you want to hear more of THIS conversation, the extended version is available to patrons on all tiers at the Rigs of Dad Patreon page.  We take a deeper dive into Fractal stuff, studio magic, Greg's work on Lusk, the writing of "Heliotropic", and  some of the new music that excites him.  You can even take some deep dives with more of my guests, get some Patreon exclusive swag, and more by checking out the Rigs of Dad Patreon page OR just download the Patreon ap, search for Rigs of Dad, and you can support creators like me and so many more in the process!   Be sure to buy Ian's incredible music that you hear sprinkled in these episodes over at his Bandcamp Page for "The Interesting Times Gang". Head over to Age of Ruin's Instagram and dive into some of the best thrash I have ever heard.  Their new album is coming soon.  It's produced by Mike Schleibaum of Darkest Hour and is just a relentless and refreshing metal cleanse.
