About The Safety Word

The Safety Word is a symphony of atmospheric synth pop, weaving a tapestry of dreamy soundscapes and emotive lyrics. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, John Rousvanis and Simon Quinn are the creators behind this band, and they have been entrancing audiences with their unique blend of ethereal vocals, melodic synths, and introspective lyrics. Their self-titled debut was released in 2019, and it received critical acclaim for its lush soundscapes, and introspective lyrics. The band has been compared to the likes of Boo Seeka, Bob Moses, and Cub Sport for their ethereal sound and emotive performances.

Now, they are taking their music to the next level with the release of a double album titled Golden Age in mid-2023. The album is divided into two parts: Part I is a collection of upbeat songs, while Part II features downtempo ballads. The albums were created with the whole vision in mind, yet each song was written as a standalone single. The Safety Word is currently raising funds through Rocket Fuel to take this album to the world.

John and Simon's love for creating music that evokes emotion and atmosphere led them to each other, where they met in the live music scene in Melbourne. They quickly realized that they shared a passion for creating music that transports the listener to a different place and time, and together, they formed The Safety Word. The band's name is a metaphor for the idea of their music being a sanctuary, a place where one can feel safe and be enveloped in a cocoon of warmth and familiarity, an escape from the stress of modern life.

The Safety Word is more than just a band, it's an experience. They're constantly pushing the boundaries of the synth pop genre and creating a unique sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. With their emotive performances and introspective lyrics, The Safety Word's music is like a sanctuary, a place where you can be enveloped in a cocoon of warmth and familiarity, an escape from the stress of modern life.
