The Los Angeles rock band FAILURE is set to unveil their much-anticipated documentary, “Every Time You Lose Your Mind,” directed by band member Ken Andrews, which has been a decade in the making. This feature-length film chronicles the band’s journey from their formation to the present day and includes interviews with notable figures such as David Dastmalchian, Margaret Cho, Hayley Williams, Jason Schwartzman, Tommy Lee, Maynard James Keenan, Butch Vig, and Rick Beato.
Fans can look forward to streaming the documentary on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ starting on June 27, 2025. The film’s trailer has already stirred excitement among followers of the band.
FAILURE, known for their impactful contribution to the ’90s alternative rock scene, faced significant challenges in their early years, including struggles with addiction and issues with their record label. This turbulent history is expertly captured in “Every Time You Lose Your Mind,” which outlines not just their struggles, but also their remarkable resurgence and continued influence on both new and long-time fans. Andrews emphasizes that the film highlights themes of resilience, coping with life’s challenges, and the ongoing connection fans feel to the band’s music, particularly as it resonates with experiences of depression and addiction.
To celebrate the documentary’s release, FAILURE will host a premiere on June 26 at the Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles, which will feature a rare acoustic performance by the band. Limited tickets for this special event can be found on their official website.
Following their initial acclaim with albums such as “Fantastic Planet,” which is considered one of the defining works of the ’90s alt-rock genre, FAILURE has continued to evolve musically. After a hiatus, they released “The Heart Is A Monster” in 2015, receiving critical acclaim from various music publications. Their latest project, “Wild Type Droid,” was recorded during the pandemic and further illustrates their ongoing relevance in the music scene.
As FAILURE prepares to share their story with the world, they exemplify the spirit of perseverance in the music industry. Their journey not only serves as a testament to their talent but also as a beacon of hope for many who face similar struggles.
