In-Flight Safety: Animals

In-Flight Safety turns it up just a bit on their new single Animals. While Destroy was lacking urgency, the Halifax quartet picks a more prominent guitar sound. The vocals, however, are still clean-cut and mainstream. Harmless rock for people who don't know rock. Expect more of the same on their forthcoming album Conversationalist, out on September 22 via Conehead (UK) and Ooh La La Records US.

In-Flight Safety: Destroy

It's kinda ironic for a band called In-Flight Safety to release a single called Destroy. The Halifax based outfit doesn't sound dangerous at all, though. They name Echo & the Bunnymen and Ride as their influences, but they are far more mainstream than those bands.

Soccer moms will love them and it's superior to most of the muzak that's piped through the sound system of your local shopping mall. The guitar is nice, but the vocals might fail to register beyond the track's running time.
