SAFER - “Stuck On You”

SXSW 2023 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 3

Pairs Well With…The Black Keys, Klaxons, The Rapture

SAFER is built on riffs, blues-based movements, reverb amped up with garage-rock density. Part stoner rock and part Southern rock, SAFER sound both nostalgic and driving forward across their early singles. Grimy new-wave patterns find their way into SAFER’s music as well, heavily glued  together with jangly, rattling energy. That “Meet Me in the Bathroom” era grit is in good hand’s with SAFER (frontperson Mattie Safer played bass for the Rapture and Poolside) as they are able to sound both tight and carefree with a studied ease.
