In-Flight Safety Land At Dead Daisy Records

After trying to glide through the turbulence of the music industry for the past few years, In-Flight Safety have finally come in for a safe landing at Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records label.

The ambient rock quartet are comprised of Glen Nicholson (drums), Brad Goodsell (bass), Daniel Ledwell (keyboards) and John Mullane (guitar and vocals). The Nova Scotian band won the Universal Music Canada-sponsored "Best Unsigned Band" award at North By Northeast in 2003 and have opened for the likes of Metric, Stars, Constantines, Broken Social Scene, Joel Plaskett, Hawksley Workman, and Matt Mays and El Torpedo. They claim that David Bowie even took a liking to them when he heard Vacationland, their debut EP.

The group's Coast Is Clear full-length debut features 10 cinematic pop/rock tracks that the band members produced themselves with the help of Britain's Warne Livesey, who has previously worked with Matthew Good and many others. Outside Music will start distributing the album on January 24, and a number of shows are planned both before and after its release.

"In-Flight Safety are the best band I know and I'm privileged to work with them," says Gryner, the Ontario singer/songwriter and budding label executive who found out about them when they were both playing in Moncton, New Brunswick.
