In-Flight Safety — The Coast Is Clear

Canada’s answer to Coldplay, this Halifax-based four-piece seem to have caught the British atmospheric pop wave. This is a flight that they’ve quickly mastered and adopted for their own audience. Though lead singer John Mullane's vocals echo Chris Martin's, the band have added their own Canadian twist to the ubiquitous British band's sonic mix. In-Flight Safety's melodic pop hooks and songs rise and fall with crescendos and decrescendos, all the while maintaining an intriguing rhythm. From the multi-layered opener "Coast Is Clear" to the transient six-minute closer, "Lost [The March Song]," these mainstays on college radio are ready to take a stab at the mainstream.
