The Safes - Well Well Well

Here, in December (when this is written) we have a blast of classic power pop joy that throws itself right to the top fo the heap as being one of the best of the year for 2006. We say this, we mean it: `just listen below`. But if words must find their point on the arrow of our passions here, well, fans of Redd Kross, The Lolas, The Model Rockets and Cheap Trick style of brand sparkling, effervescent power pop will dig this. Like Cheap Trick doing The Clash. Talk about kicking out the jangle jams! You`ll need to take some aspirin after tuning to this one after all the head-bobbing you`ll do. Sugar pop with hooks that bite, bubbly melodies that soar and guitar links that rip with old school late 70`s passion along the lines of the first album from The Romantics, The Plimsouls, The Beat. It`s not that The Safes sounds like this trio of bands, it`s that they have that spunk, energy and excitement the early efforts of those bands had.

Each song power pulses with happy sing-songy pop backed by heavy rhythms and amped up sweet, loud guitars - this is power pop, man! Their previous two releases were really quite good, but "Well Well Well" towers above them in all areas of achievement leaving them and most other indie releases in the dust. " he Safes are sure to draw comparisons to The Clash, The Replacements and early Cheap Trick on "Boogie Woogie Rumble," though their screaming harmonies and intuitive instrumental interplay reflect their own bloodline. More important, they hail from a long line of in-your-face rockers who understand the best rock is unapologetic rock. Rev it up."-CityView. Hugely Recommended!
