For people who’ve met him London Ontario’s Charlie Weber is known for a few things: Emotionally honest lyricism, being the loudest person in the room, and never knowing when to leave a party.

Since 2013, Weber’s self-aware songwriting style has allowed him to carve pathways across the country playing upwards of 230 independently booked shows. Weber has graced festival stages, dive bars and living rooms while following in the footsteps of alt-troubadours like John K. Samson, Tom Petty, Frank Turner, Jeff Rosenstock; using earnestness layered with humour to create a musical catalogue that is sincere while never taking himself too seriously. Ostentatious but vulnerable, callous and compassionate, Charlie Weber & the Glorious Failures seamlessly pair cynicism with hopefulness through their lens of punk rock laden Americana, creating high energy rock n roll anthems that will touch your heart.

In 2018, Weber released his first LP “Old Habits” through London Ontario’s indie label Forest City Records. Touring vigorously until being cut off at the knees by the global pandemic. Weber went into hiding from the invisible plague and got down to writing his second LP, but he knew he would need help when it came time to record. Weber gathered his friends from some of Ontario’s most renowned (and more successful) acts (Pkew Pkew Pkew, Wolf Saga, Stuck Out Here, Averages) and formed the super group now known as The Glorious Failures. Together with their unbreakable bond matched with their combined 100 years of musical know-how the band formed like a mystical ninja robot from a early 90’s Japanese kids program and recorded what will surly go down in the history books as “THE GREATEST INDEPENDENT CANADIAN RECORD OF ALL TIME!”

Charlie Weber & the Glorious Failure’s sophomore LP “Gold Never Stays” is set for release in Spring of 2023.

The albums first single “Sadder/Louder” is out on streaming platforms and accompanied by a music video directed by award winning and acclaimed Canadian videographer Danny Dunlop of Black Wave Productions and can be viewed on Youtube.

We could go further into the bands career as professional unicorn wranglers or their stint as volunteer dragon fighters but I think it’s important to stay focused on the music. If you want to know more about their acts of mythical bravery you’ll have to come see them live in a city near you!
