Bastards of Melody / Radio Barons / Successful Failures

Originally an Alt/Country lo-fi side project for Mick Chorba (of Dipsomaniacs) this NJ band has evolved into a full blown rock force - mixing Superchunkish blasts of indie-rock with Americana & jangly pop influences. The Successful Failures released their very successful full length, self titled, debut CD in the summer of 2006. 

In 2007 the band released a five song EP ("Bridges over the Delaware") & their critically acclaimed sophmore effort, "Ripe For The Burning". The Successful Failures spent some time in the summer of 07' in Knoxville, TN recording with Superdrag drummer/producer Don Coffey Jr.. The albums single, "All I Can Take", is the fruit of their labors. In 2008 the band played a series of well attended mini-tours with stops in Chicago, IL, Madison, WI, Raleigh, NC, Winston Salem, NC, Richmond, VA, Morgantown, WV, Baltimore, MD, D.C, Arlington, VA, Philadelphia, PA, & more.
