If All Else Fails

Although their memorable songs and melodic, hard-driving sound has earned them demo deals with both Immortal and Columbia, IF ALL ELSE FAILS decided to stick to their punk rock roots and pursue independent status in the spring of 2005. They havent looked back. Their music, a refreshing change from the love-angst emo and sugary pop-punk flooding todays popular radio, is rooted in classic songwriting, diverse melodies, pounding rhythms and a variety of lyrical topics ranging from the hypocrisy of fundamentalism to the uncaring greed of the modern American dream, fallen poets to falling bombs.

Pour Habit

Believe it or not, things used to be different. People used to start punk bands because they wanted to have fun, not because they needed a vehicle to get their faces on the covers of magazines. Artists used to tour to meet new people, not to sell products in various "markets." Above all, especially in the punk scene, bands in the past didn't believe in a division between themselves and their fans because at the end of the day they knew we were all the same.
