The Safes

 Brothers Frankie, Patrick, and Michael O'Malley are The SAFES. Their father, a working musician, record collector and all around music lover filled the house with live sounds, great records (Little Richard, Magic Sam, & Buck Owens...) and an array of musical instruments. This environment ultimately led to the development of this very special band. The SAFES have that unique chemistry that comes when talented siblings form a band (think Kinks, AC/DC, Everly Brothers, Beach Boys). This chemistry fuels The SAFES' records as well as their live shows. Touring coast-to-coast for the past few years, performing in over 100 cities in 35 states, The SAFES have established large, loyal fanbases across the country on the strength of their live show, which is a sweaty explosion of energy and melody. They've also shared the stage with artists such as Andrew Bird, The Smoking Popes, members of Wilco and The Raconteurs, to name a few, as well as having worked with some top producers, such as Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, The Shins), Keith Cleversley (Flaming Lips), Jim Diamond (White Stripes), and Jason Ward (Arcade Fire). The quality of their past releases have also brought them national recognition - "Sight of all Light", “Well, Well, Well”, "Boogie Woogie Rumble" and "Family Jewels" all received favorable press across the country, extensive airplay (as well as having their songs used on ESPN, MTV, Dr Pepper, amongst others), local TV, and live sessions on college and community radio stations across the US. "Record Heat" promises to lift them into the national recognition they deserve as they embark on a full US tour beginning April 28th. So what do we have here? It's The SAFES' brand new LP "Record Heat" and it's dynamite! A fresh blast of pop rock n roll magic at its very best; this album hits the spot again and again. Recorded by Jim Diamond (White Stripes, The Sonics), Jason Ward (Arcade Fire) and Patrick O'Malley (The SAFES), "Record Heat" explodes with a supersonic crunch and stellar sharp songwriting. The SAFES give you 10 hit singles that make one killer record packed with clever lyrics, electric energy, and hooks that hurt. One listen and you'll agree that this album stands out from the crowd and shines bright and proud! The first video, 'Hopes Up, Guard Down', was directed by Mike Hindert of The Bravery and another is being filmed for release in the next few weeks. "...the trio has built a large following with infectious, guitar-driven power pop. THE SAFES makes smart, melodic music.." NPR "Atomic pop." Rolling Stone "Sugary pop-rock that seems like it would fit right into mainstream radio." Time Out New York "Garage-kissed powerpop." San Francisco Chronicle
