FDR is proud to announce The Successful Failures have released a new five song ep called The Real Defenders of the Acropolis. The Real Defenders of the Acropolis is the acoustic / blue grass alter ego of The Successful Failures. The 5-song EP features acoustic versions of three Successful Failures’ songs, one version of a Dipsomaniacs’ song , and a previously unreleased track (“Awful Lonesome”). The band features Mick on guitar, vocals, and bass. Ron Bechamps picks up the mandolin and sings harmony, Greg Potter (from NJ power-pop band, Black Pages) plays lead guitar, and Tim Martz plays the harmonica. The album was recorded by Paul Crane (Bastards of Melody) on August 8th 2010 in a small room in NJ. Download the songs or order the physical CD here:

Check out the Successful Failures page for a free weekly download – each week we’ll add a different track. Free for one week only. This week’s freebie is “Sunday Morning Coming Down” from the 2007 ep, Bridges Over the Delaware.

We are excited to make our first music release of the new year.  The new song – “Liar in the Room” was recorded by The Successful Failures for the Three Nights album but didn’t quite fit in with the other tracks. I wanted it to sound like an old Nick Lowe tune like “Cruel to be Kind”. I recently finished tracking and mixing the song and I love the way it came out. “Liar in the Room” is available for a limited time as a free digital download (or name your own price and help the cause). “Liar…” will be up on iTunes and other vendors but grab it now from us for your price or no price! – Mick
