   About BEWARE OF SAFETY
PRESS //

• ...Beware of Safety can claim to have the best instrumental guitar rock album in the U.S.
- Jordan Volz, Editor-In-Chief, The Silent Ballet

• Beware of Safety is an LA-based ambient/psychedelic band on The Mylene Sheath label. Their instrumental album Dogs is a trance meditation that blends wondrous resonant influences -- a pinch of prime Pink Floyd, a dose of Doors, the blooming dignity and bursting explosions of Sigur Ros. The result is a swelling sonic landscape both sweeping and dramatic. Swirling guitars, light and shade, whispers to screams, murder in the cathedral...it's all in the mystery code. Beware of Safety, indeed.
- GimmeSound.com (Featured Artist, September 2009)

• The tracks (on dogs) are orchestrated magnificently, creating a consistently grandiose feel. Songs such as “The Supposed Common” and “Hexa,” among others, have progressions in such a way as to weave a story as the song goes on. Even though I would recommend a quality set of speakers or headphones for any music, it is especially important with these guys. There are plenty of intricacies that make this a very pleasurable listen, many of which might be missed when heard through your usual white, fruit-branded earbuds.
- Ross Solomon, Slug Magazine

• Hands down, Dogs is my favorite album of recent months. Beware of Safety is an ambient metal jam band, the metal-instrumental love child of Pink Floyd and Faith No More, with "Uncle" Rush and "Auntie" Queensryche nodding proudly from the delivery room.
- Lyn Dunagan, Caught in the Carousel

Dogs is heavy. Dogs is not everyday fare. But I’ll tell you what, Dogs is as tight as instrumental records come. Each song paints a grand scene more ambitious than the last. Beware Of Safety don’t play pansy instrumental music; you won’t be sitting in front of the speakers saying, “Are they even playing anything?” ... Beware Of Safety successfully meld moments of hard rock with ethereal noodling, and in the process create an album where 10 unique songs become one completely awe-inspiring album.
- Blake Solomon, Absolutepunk.net

• this would have to be its own sound, its got godspeed elements and eits elements but it really has a sad lonely walking on a frozen lake at night by yourself type of a feel to it, if you've never done that you haven't really lived(or wanted to instantly die). its hard for an instrumental band to get me to write a sentence like this, but... for some reason the music sounds really really sad and isolated and its perfect music for the shitty north east winter
- Lucid Media

• A loud instrumental juggernaut who aptly understands how to wring every drop of emotion possible out of their listeners.
- KSCR Radio, University of Southern California

• Those who enjoy their instrumental rock to emphasize the "rock" should take note of Beware of Safety. This quartet out of Los Angeles concocts an explosive creation that leaves no prisoners. And while the music is loud, noisey, and aggressive, the band really shines in the post-trauma aftermath, showcasing a more sophisticated side that really speaks towards the band's natural talent and understanding of its art. Selected as release of the month, It is Curtains comes highly recommended by the Silent Ballet staff.
- The Silent Ballet

• The likes of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky make up a decent portion of my extra-curricular music listening, so much so that it takes a truly amazing record in that genre to really get my attention. There's something about Beware of Safety, that caught my ear immediately. The slow atmosphere sinks through tendrils of perfectly-toned guitar, while white sheets of cymbals and a dissolving snare outline the rhythms, bass perfectly holding the two together. Where similar bands are plenty happy to be depressed in their drone, there's a lack of resignation on this record that gives these songs a little jagged edge to their pillowy, floating sounds. There's hope and there's anger (and a little depression, too). Listen to it on your regular stereo set-up, but to get the most out of it, play it through headphones, and picture cottony clouds below an azure sky... snow-capped peaks viewed from the roof of a city skyscraper... time-lapse film of stars passing through the velvety nighttime heavens. 5/5.
- CD Baby

• A bright beginning to what seems to be a promising future. 7/10
- Jeff Penczak, Foxy Digitalis

• Our hats go off to Beware of Safety. In a year that will inevitably be marked with so many fine instrumental releases, they have managed to make their mark on 2007 by placing an early bid.
- Jordan Volz, Editor-In-Chief, The Silent Ballet

• If you like instrumental, experimental rock, give Beware of Safety a listen. Their approach is unique and eclectic, with easy-going guitar parts and a great ambient feel.
- Indie Productions

• Each track on It Is Curtains sounds fresh, and for a band using only guitars, bass, and drums, that’s quite an achievement in today’s post-rock environment. At the moment, the EP is one of those lovely hand pressed self–released affairs, but it really won’t be long before this band are signed, so, if you haven’t already, it’s about time you went and stumbled upon a future post-rock giant. 8/10.
- James Ould

• At the fore-front of the L.A. (instrumental) movement is this band, Beware of Safety. Their debut EP, It 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.
- Glenn Fischer
