They were a force to be reckoned with. It was actually intimidating and I say that as a musician myself but also just as someone who has listened to punk rock for a long time and been to many, many shows. These guys were legendary. - UnknownTHE SAFESCall em garage-kissed power pop (San Francisco Chronicle), atomic pop (Rolling Stone), or simply wild and crazy (Chicago Tribune), The Safes have collected plenty of accolades for however youd like to sum up their expert-level snappy songwriting and sharp showmanship. The bands smart, melodic music ( NPR) is rooted in 60s-70s inspirations artists who knew how to deliver big on record and on stage. Contemporary comparisons such as Ty Segal, Thee Oh Sees, Guided by Voices, Generationals, the Minus 5, Sloan and New Pornographers make a whole lot of sense, too.
