In-Flight Safety

Artist Bio:
In-Flight Safety soars to great heights with their latest, We Are An Empire, My Dear. Last winter, the Halifax based four-piece took to the proverbial woods and recorded in Fox River, Nova Scotia with producer Laurence Currie (Sloan, Wintersleep). The result of their seclusion is a 12-track collection of royal and poignant pop songs. Perhaps it was the late night domino games, mini-stick hockey matches, all-hour writing sessions or the friendly townsfolk who randomly popped in, but this wintry venture set the tone for an album rich in beauty, instrumentation, politic and heart. In-Flight Safety has crafted an auditory call to arms, In these seemingly ambiguous times, the fever to connect to one another is fierce. We Are An Empire, My Dear explores this terrain through the lenses of wealth, greed, love, faith, and humanity’s ability to change. The musical mapmakers share their latest findings via their own label, Night Danger, in January 2009.

In-Flight Safety’s critically acclaimed Vacation Land EP arrived in 2003 and was followed in 2006 by the band’s debut LP, The Coast Is Clear. The latter went on to earn JUNO and Much Music Video Award nominations and three East Coast Music Awards.

Radio Strategy:
Take their single “Model Homes” to the targets of Modern Rock/Rock/Hot AC radio nationally while also targeting Satellite, CBC and Campus. Focus will be on achieving maximum spins at stations while also looking for opportunities to partner with stations through interviews, contesting, and performances during the life of the single as well as during national tours.
