The Canadian-Norwegian experimental threesome Bjarte (drums, bass, vocals), Ronny (bass, guitars, synths, vocals) and Layla (vocals, guitars, keys) merge trip-hop, electronica, progressive-rock, grunge and a hint of new-wave, resulting in a categorically elusive lovechild known simply as Failed Athletes.

Despite whisperings of similarities to the likes of Tool and Portishead, FA consciously strive to avoid reewriting musical history, acknowledging their position on the shoulders of giants who have gone before them while unabashedly breaking new paths.

Failed Athletes do not care for the Theatre of the Stupid known as sports, but urge everyone to sink to their level where, musically, everything is permitted.

Lock up your inner referee and lend your soul some time and patience for the coming tracks...

Scampi Chips Dip & Campari is an underground secret from Bergen, Norway, better known in China than in Oslo. The band plays raw, melodic and aggressive garage punk, inspired by legendary bands such as Bikini Kill, X-Ray Spex, Roky Erickson, Dead Moon and Thee Headcoatees. Their intense and colorful live shows have made them notorious in the Bergen punk scene, and now the band's first EP is finally here - on cassette and all digital streaming services.
