Formed in Greensboro, North Carolina in 2013, Failure Anthem join the ranks of muscular, hook-heavy hard rock acts like Daughtry, Creed, and Nickelback. Lead singer JD Eubanks joined the band -- Ryan Nimmo on bass, Kile Odell and Wil Andrews on guitars, and Zane Frye on drums -- after a stint as a chef in Los Angeles, working under the likes of Wolfgang Puck. After a brief period of homelessness, he returned to North Carolina and joined the band. After signing with Razor & Tie, they released their debut album, First World Problems, in late 2015, which was preceded by the powerful lead single "Paralyzed." ~ Neil Z. Yeung
