Be Safe - Unwell

B+ Tier

Much is said about the Emo Revival’s inability to replicate the late 90s/early 00s style of Midwest Emo, except for some bands like Empire! Empire!. However, Be Safe’s debut album isn’t content to be influenced by acts like Benton Falls and Penfold, they actively evolve that hyper specific era of music. Kinsella-esque guitar twinkles are abundant on this album but integrated in a way that doesn’t distract the listener with absurd Math Rock components. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, I’d highly recommend checking it out.
