Hi. I’m Ian Smythe-Finnian of Safety Blockade. Out of Manchester.

Safety Blockade is all about exploring the isolation of solitude. Like a set of earbuds that keep the world out, Safety Blockade gives you your own space, your “groove”, if you will, and lets you block out the world, while still giving you a little music. So we’ve got that in common with the Blockade Noise Isolating Earbuds.

See, they’re about protection, working like a regular ear plug to keep out all the sound. But they’re also designed to hook in to a radio or a player, and offer music. It’s lo-fi, see? You won’t be hearing dazzling highs and lows, but that’s not what music’s about. Music is about being alone, and chasing the whole world away.

Choose the tip you like and be protected from the noise of day to day life. That’s what Safety Blockcade stands for. Being alone in the world. Except for the record store, you can still go there and buy our albums. But after that… total solitude.
