Failed Diplomacy is an alternative rock band from Sacramento, California. The band formed through Skips Music's "Stairway To Stardom" program over summer, 2013. At the final concert, they placed third out of fourteen bands.
Failed Diplomacy's musical style explores the many sub-genres of rock. "Broken Paths" is a rock-ballad about forgiveness. "Legacy" is the band’s heaviest song about not letting someone intervene with having free will. "Redemption" is a pure-rock song about someone struggling to do the right thing. Failed Diplomacy's music is influenced by Three Days Grace's heaviness, Green Day's punk, Coldplay's soft-rock, and many more styles.
Failed Diplomacy is mostly known for its entertaining live performances. Henry's astonishing drumstick flips, Ian's mesmerizing guitar solos, Ethan's soaring jumps, and Jordan's captivating audience interaction all sum up to a truly entertaining show.
