Failsafe’s discography traces their evolution from early releases to their most recent work before the hiatus. Albums include 2012's Routines (Cardboard Empire) as their latest full-length, followed by the remastered What We Are Today (Bomber Music, 2009) and The Truth Is... (Small Town UK / Fond Of Life Europe, 2008), with the initial What We Are Today release (Deck Cheese, 2005). The lead single A Common Goal (2009) captured the band’s ethos of collaboration and momentum. Achievements like a Maida Vale BBC session (2007), mentions in NME (2008) and Kerrang! (2008), plus a SXSW appearance (2010) and a feature connected to The Inbetweeners episode (2010) cemented their place in the scene.

Post-Failsafe, members formed WYRES in 2020, featuring Sprake, Catlow, and Humphries, with the release Nothing Like Your Idols arriving October 6, 2023. For fans and newcomers alike, this page provides a clear snapshot of Failsafe’s journey and where to seek related music and updates.
