   About SYDNEY
When We Were Safe...

Following a solid year working on the road, touring coast to coast in Canada, and a very well received debut record, the band began the year long journey that has culminated to produce a mature, complex, cohesive record without abandoning the signature sound that has endeared the band to so many.

“When We Were Safe” chronicles all of the challenges of being an indie band. Vocalist Scott Sanderson’s intensely personal lyrics, guitarists Jay Jensen and Brent Munro’s infectious melody, and bass player Anto Boros and drummer, Kyle Anderson’s driving rhythm. A broad range of influences are apparent, however Sydney, as always, manages to take these influences and combine them into something very unique and truly their own.

With this triumphant record produced by Jesse Smith (Cauterize)due for release on Oct. 9th, 2007 on Black Box Recordings/Universal, the band finds themselves in a positive place these days. A newfound and hard earned sense of creativity, maturity, and most important, perspective on life and music has given this band a solid motivation. No longer are they to be considered part of a trend or a flash in the pan. “When We Were Safe” proves that Sydney are capable and important artists, committed for the long haul.

Blazing out of the gates with the song’s “Sorry Stanger” and the anthem-esque “Things Couldn’t Be Better Than What?”, the album gets off to an impressive start proving instantly that this is a much more mature, capable and talented group of artists. Continuing with the intensity of the songs “String Theory”, the first single, “The Exit”, and the cyptic “Listen”, the band pushes on with a sense of well orchestrated-reckless abandon. The record takes an unexpected turn with the title track, “When We Were Safe”, showcasing falsetto and group vocals – it is undoubtedly one of the album highlights. The second half of the album continues to demonstrate the record’s cohesiveness, with no wavering in energy, catchy vocal-driven choruses or driving melody. “Deadlines” and “The Terry Gantner Way” are the survivors of the year of adversity, left standing despite being two of the first tracks written for the record – further evidence that perseverance through tough times can produce very solid results. Specifically, the chorus in “The Terry Gantner Way” is worlds apart from its stylistic contemporaries. The album closes with “Don’t Call Me Scorpion”, “Mixed Drinks” and “Until The End”, continuing the pattern of infectious vocal melodies, impassioned lyrics and energetic performance. “Until The End” sways back and forth, following an easily memorable hook, exploring dynamic peaks and valleys, ending the record with a solo vocal performance that would send shivers down the spine of even the most hardened critic.

Check out "When We Were Safe", in stores October 9th.

July 9, 2008- OKAY, SAY BYE BYE BRENT, SAY HEY HEY HEY JAMES! AND OTHER NEWS OF THE LIKE


Hello everyone!!! So apparently we never update this so i thought "you know what, it's about damn time we did!!!" First off, we want to thank every single one of you visiting our page as well as all of you from S.C.E.N.E. Fest and all of you from all the shows we've been recently playing. We've been having some of our best shows lately and that has a lot to do with all of you guys coming out. You all make what we love to do so much easier! We can't thank you enough for it!!

As you all know, Brent left the band, and for the few tours we had after that, our good friends George Zikos and Tanner Siebert stepped in and helped us out. We can't thank them enough for all their help! We love you dudes. As for Brent's replacement, we want you all to welcome James McLeod! James played with The Soap Opera Coma before he joined us and has already stone cold stunnered a fan on stage. Yay James!

We are writting new songs that we can hopefully get to you all shortly. But to tide you over, you can check out some of our set from S.C.E.N.E. Fest shot by our friend Kyle Cheropita. Kyle also captured the stone cold stunner which is great in it's own right. If you are down for that you can check the videos out here: http://ca.youtube.com/results?search_query=sydney+kyle+cheropita+scenefest&search_type=&aq=-1&oq=

October 9, 2007 - New CD Out Today!


Hey everyone! So the new CD 'When We Were Safe' hits stores today and is now available online through Maple Music in Canada and SmartPunk for all of you in the US.

In Canada you can find the new cd at all major resellers (HMV, Musicworld, CD Plus). Hope you all enjoy it, and for those of you able to make it we have some local CD Release shows coming up! Hope to see you there!!

We are also still looking for people to join in on the video fun! Remember to email us at sydney_video@hotmail.com if you want in! Just give us your name and people you're bringing.

Love, Sydney.
