Minneapolis, MN — Active-rock band, The Failsafe, are sharing their sleek new cover track, “The Ballad Of Mona Lisa,” originally performed by Panic! At The Disco, on June 27 via Ghost Killer Entertainment.  The track is set to be featured on GKE’s upcoming Pop Goes Hardcore Volume 3, due out July 4. This the band’s follow-up release to their 2024 track “Wolves.“

The Failsafe puts a unique spin on Panic! At The Disco’s track “The Ballad Of Mona Lisa.” The song, produced by Dusty Boles, (Static X, Theory Of A Deadman, A Killer’s Confession,) brings melodies to life in a cinematic way. The band creates a modern-rock atmosphere that is sure to draw new listeners in.

“We chose this song as the compilation was originally going to be a Panic! At the Disco theme and all the good ones from “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” were taken.  Looking into it more I was not able to find a good rock version of this song. Most were just direct covers or the original.  It seems like a good idea to add a heavy modern twist to one of my favorite P!ATD songs! ” – Jesse Weber, lead vocalist.

About The Failsafe: Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, The Failsafe is an active-rock band that carries an electrifying force. The band stands-out with infectious heavy-hitting electronic rock intertwined with pop-inspired vocals. “We want to be the band that gives you the song to get you through the last rep of your work-out, that last hour of your day, that rough break-up or that long trip you have to take. Essentially a fail-safe to get you through those emotional times.” Says lead vocalist, Jesse Weber about the band.

The Failsafe pulls influences from the likes of artists such as Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens and Wage War bringing years of soaring riffs that linger in listeners’ minds long after hearing them. The band has collaborated with producers such as, Andrew Baylis, Cameron Mizell, and Sahaj Ticotin on their latest music. Their catalog has garnered over 1 million streams with singles such as “Dying To Exist,” their recently released EP, Toxic Hearts and their 2019 full-length record, Erasing Color. Now, The Failsafe is entering a new era with their new track, “Wolves.” The song puts-forth a cinematic energy, with ambient tones, a brutal chorus and smooth vocals. “The track paints a picture of addiction, depression, something that you’re passionate about even, where somehow you always end-up coming back as that animal. It doesn’t take a lot to get you there although it takes you away from it.” Says Weber about the new track. “Wolves” is accompanied by a storytelling music video filled with blurry memories and a tinge of gore. “It’s the aftermath of what happens when you run with the wolves. It’s left to the imagination of what happened before that with accents of bruises and blood.” Weber expands on the new track’s visual.

With independent touring under their belt, having headlined their own tour and sharing the stage with artists such as  Pierce The Veil, Secrets, Upon A Burning Body and Real Friends, the band has no intention of slowing down as they make their way through 2025. Listen to the band’s latest cover track, “The Ballad Of Mona Lisa” due out June 27.
