When a music lover hears the words ?side-project? generally he instantly imagines the sounds of a half-assed, thrown-together musical cacophony that will impress no one and please even fewer. Side-projects, clearly a way to kill time for musicians when on leave from their focus band, are rarely half as interesting or as vital as the musician's main outfit, hence the reason they are projects and not more hashed out endeavors. But, in the grand tradition of side-projects like Drive Like Jehu, The New Amsterdams, Reggie and the Full Effect, and Gorillaz, Andy Jackson of Connecticut's Hot Rod Circuit (Vagrant Records) brings us a side-project that is unique, vital, interesting, and refined. Triple Crown Records is proud to bring you the debut full length by Safety in Numbers.
