Failing Forward is a South African Christian rock band formed in 2006 in Durbanville, Cape Town. The band consists of Anton van der Merwe (lead vocals, guitar), Tyron Whittaker (bass guitar and backing vocals), Steven Lambert (guitar and backing vocalist) and Nick Ornellas (drums and percussion).
The band existed for one year before achieving local success. After years of being involved in different bands and projects, the four current members of the Durbanville-based FAILING FORWARD got together to form a new band. They poured all their knowledge, experience, and musical influences into something new and fresh, that would appeal to music lovers across South Africa.
Their first studio album, Failing Forward, debuted in 2007, followed by their second full-length album, Hunting Beasties, in early 2009. They have toured extensively throughout South Africa, performing at major festivals such as Rocking the Daisies Festival and Ramfest, and Woodstock in 2009, where the band shared the stage with international acts Eagle-Eye Cherry. The band has been playlisted on major South African radio stations, and campus radio stations nationwide.
In 2009, Failing Forward travelled to Noordhoek, Cape Town, where they met producer/director Ryan Kruger to shoot the music video for their single, "Hunting Beasties". Shortly after, their second video, "Prisoner takes all", was released.
The band is currently working on their third studio album, due for release in 2011.
