StillWaves Join The Safe Sounds Family with It Still Burns
We're delighted to welcome StillWaves to the Safe Sounds family with the release of the debut single from their upcoming LP.
It Still Burns is a driving post-punk banger. When we first heard it, it evoked memories of bands like The Horrors (specifically their album Primary Colours, which still gets rotated here to this day).
After meeting head honcho, lead singer and bassist, Dan Carlyle, he professed his love for bands like Killing Joke, The Cure, and The Chameleons. It all adds up.
The debut LP, entitled Undiagnosed, will be released on limited edition pink cassette on 19th January 2024. The art features the late guitarist, Eric Pentz, who wrote the album alongside Carlyle. Andrew Heule is the drummer on the record.
Undiagnosed [SS122] is the first StillWaves album to be released by Safe Sounds.

It's Christmas Time And You Need To Be Afraid
This Friday is A CLASSMAS CAROL which is a huge night of entertainment with a mega lineup of bands and comedians.
Bad Waitress, members of which you may have seen at our recent Geary Art Crawl showcase, will be rocking alongside Burner, Waste Youth and our very own, World News.
What is CLASS? Well here's what they have to say for themselves...
"Leave some cookies and cheap smokes out a few weeks earlier this year, because CLASS is racing down the chimney of The Garrison for A CLASSMAS Carol on December 8th.
We’ve spewed eggnog everywhere, stolen Frosty’s magical hat, and banned Rudolph from participating in any reindeer games. Have we lost the true meaning of the holidays?
Will Deshaun turn into Santa Tim Allen style? Come help Fezenezer Scrooge and The CLASS crew rediscover the spirit of the season, and rock out to a stocking over stuffed with music, stand up comedy, and art. Bah Humbug, I just sat in some hot cocoa."
Comedy will be served hot thanks to Ryan Dillon, Sima Sepehri, Sam Burns and Kari Johnson

Breeze Is A Heart Attack Waiting To Happen
There has been so much Safe Sounds stuff happening of late, and were stoked to tell you the year is just getting started... well kind of!
Toronto band Breeze dropped by the bank vault recently to perform two tracks from their upcoming record, 'Sour Grapes'.
We're stoked to share the first of them with you today — Heart Attack Waiting To Happen is a new wave Britpop anthem. Watch it now.
Originally a solo project led by Toronto-based producer Josh Korody who has worked with the likes of Tess Parks, Dilly Dally, Fucked Up, Weaves, Dirty Nil, Beliefs, Breeze has evolved into a full band with the addition of Braeden Craig, James Kearns, Robyn Phillips and Julia Wittmann.
Heart Attack Waiting To Happen has already been released as a single from the Sour Grapes LP, which will arrive in its entirety later this year via Hand Drawn Dracula.
This session was recorded and filmed in downtown Toronto here at Safe Sounds inside a real disused bank vault.
We've got a load of interesting content up there on our YouTube Channel so check out our previous live sessions and releases from Toronto favourites. Oh and if you could Subscribe that'd be great... it's like a modern day blood pact but on the internet and not involving blood.
As always keep your eyes peeled for more!
