No, The Safes are not on Stiff Records, but damn if they don’t sound like one of those gems you find on Stiff Records samplers from the early ‘70s. Of course, the appeal of bands like Generation X or The Damned or even T.S.O.L were that they were awesomely bad and titanically intense. The same can be said for The Safes new album Sight of All Night. It begins as endearingly awful as any Germs song; borderline unlistenable, yet with such a grating, cool sound, it becomes addictive -- like the namesake track “Sight of All Night.” Then, there are songs that are just straight-up awesome like “Troublemaker,” which comes off as tough and poppy as early 999 records (Maybe the only time I’ll get to reference 999 in a review) and, probably the best song on the album, the anthemic “The Sky is Falling,” is a pummeling group-chant track that is pummeling and unrelenting.
