-
- Music Interviews
EPISODE 22 is here to dial up the introspection with the moody musings of Maryland's Be Safe! 🌲🎸
Today, we're nestled in conversation with Matt and Shane, the creative pillars of the band that's rekindling the embers of emo's heyday with their latest auditory gem, "Be Safe." Jeff, the guitar maestro, chimes in as well, bringing his unique sonic flair to the mix. Together, they unravel the threads of inspiration that led them from the echoes of Perfect Future to the birth of a record steeped in nostalgia yet brimming with fresh energy.
As we delve into the band's formation, we discover how life's twists and turns can spark the need for new creative outlets. Matt reveals his vision for a sound that's less about the noise and more about the nuance, while Shane and Jeff share their journeys of adapting to a more subdued style of playing—a testament to the band's dedication to the craft.
Listeners are treated to tales of organic band formation, where shared stages and mutual acquaintances in Maryland's vibrant scene naturally led to the assemblage of Be Safe. The band members also peel back the layers on their personal influences, from the delicate indie rock of Karate to the robust riffs of '90s lo-fi, shaping a sound that's as contemplative as a mountainous landscape.
We also touch on the balancing act of day jobs and musical passions, exploring the varied paths each member walks outside the recording studio. From FedEx routes to family caregiving, the members of Be Safe embody the DIY ethos that fuels their musical journey.
As the episode winds down, we're left with the haunting strains of "Dark Cloud," a track that encapsulates the band's ability to capture a feeling of mountainous desperation. It's a song that stands as a stark, beautiful contrast to the brighter tones dominating today's emo landscape, offering a palette cleanser for the soul.
So, if you're craving a sound that's both a nod to the past and a step into the future, press play and let the understated power of Be Safe envelop you. This isn't just a band; it's a sanctuary for those who find solace in the shadows of sound.
Here's the track that stopped us in our tracks. Give it a listen:
[Dark Cloud – Be Safe]
Remember, whether it's through the pines of Maryland or the strings of a guitar, it's the pursuit of authentic expression that keeps us all creating, one chord at a time.
