Beware of Safety - It Is Curtains


Los Angeles, California. I'm not going to pretend like I know the nitty-gritty about the underground instrumental rock scene over here (or anywhere, really), but I do have a radio show and have booked a few bands to do interviews sometime this Spring and talk about it. At the fore-front of the L.A. movement is this band, Beware of Safety. Their debut EP, Is Is Curtains has made the band instantly relevant in instrumental circles with emotive drum-less dramas like "Veneklasen" and 10-minute guitar-epics like "To The Roof!..." The band doesn't always rely on beauty for its identity, though. "Weak Wrists" sounds like a challenge to Red Sparowes or Pelican to pick it up a notch as BoS are riding their coattails pretty tight when it comes to pure rockin' out. With all the variety in their ~38 minute EP, BoS leave listeners guessing as to where they are headed next. My advice to you: see them live.
