Life Is Not A Waiting Room

Description

2008 album, Life Is Not A Waiting Room by Senses Fail. The formation of Senses Fail started with Buddy Nielsen, who in 2002 started recruiting members through an ad on the Internet, a year before the formation of the band. Dan Trapp read the article and Trapp, who was only 15 at the time, brought his friends Dave Miller and Garrett Zablocki from a band he had played with previously. Later, the bass player Mike Glita, former drummer for Tokyo Rose joined the lineup. The band took their musical influences of Punk, Metal, and Hardcore, mixed them with poetry, emotion, literature, religion, eastern philosophy and spirituality to create their own sound and image. The name "Senses Fail" is derived from the Buddhist belief in Nirvana. Lead singer Nielsen explains, "In Buddhism, they believe that being alive is hell, and the only way to reach Nirvana is to ultimately have no attachments to anything.'
