I hear you can find the Black Satans on Spotify. Now I am curious if there are more tracks there. I already have the 3 hits on mp3.

"Failure (band) is parting ways with Spotify," the band wrote in a statement on social media. "The band encourages fans to purchase high-quality downloads of their music on bandcamp or to stream it on other platforms."

Until now, our ambivalence about Spotify has been based on their draconian royalty calculation which essentially gives artists a microscopic fraction of the money being generated by their music on the platform. We’ve all seen the stories of just how little Spotify pays artists whose product powers their entire business model. It's been a scam for artists since the beginning, following in the tradition of the major label model which preceded it.

If you want to buy lossless digital versions of our entire catalogue, we encourage you to purchase our music on Bandcamp: failureband.bandcamp.com

If you want to stream our music, we continue to offer our music through Apple and other streaming services.

I feel like there'll be more artists pulling their music from Spotify, using the excuse of Rogan to free themselves from the exploitative relationship with the Spotify remuneration model. I'd have more to say on that, but don't want to get Brian started...
