Failed at Math(s)

“Failed at Math(s)“ is the lead single and title track to Panchiko’s debut studio album, and first new music since the early 2000s. The band described it as "a song about how the precursor to realising a vaguely acceptable, if still somewhat disappointing end result, is acknowledging and casting off the patterns that lead us to fail over and over (and over) again." — via Broadway World Read more on Last.fm.

Panchiko are an English alternative rock band formed in Nottingham, England in 1997, originally consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist Owain Davies, guitarist and keyboardist Andrew Andy Wright, bassist Shaun Ferreday, and a drummer named John. Panchiko's members were childhood friends with cheap equipment, who founded the band in 1997 as teenagers. On 21 July 2016, a 4chan user reported that they had found a copy of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L in an Oxfam charity store in Sherwood, Nottingham. The songs, affected with disc rot, were shared via Mega and Zippyshare download links. The record became a cult classic through circulation on the Internet such as through the YouTube channel dismiss yourself, until Owain and the other members of Panchiko(excluding John, with whom the other members lost contact) were contacted by their fans through Facebook. The band released their D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L EP in 2000, which was recorded in their room, as well as another EP titled Kicking Cars. On February 16, 2020, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L was remastered and re-released online along with three tracks from Kicking Cars by the band, exactly 20 years after its official release. On May 5th, 2023, Panchiko released Failed at Math(s), their debut album with new and old material included. Read more on Last.fm.
