We recently had the amazing opportunity to check out the debut single and video “Safeword” from indie-rock four piece The Beside Morale . You can listen to “Safeword” on Spotify Here and on Apple Music Here as well as on Amazon Music Here

Alongside the single, the band worked with GLK Media’s Kieran Gallop on a cinematic, reservoir dogs-esque music video – violence content warning to boot! You can also watch the amazing video below .

Some music is so perfect that you can close your eyes and be taken on an amazing musical journey. We were absolutely captivated by The Bedside Morale, “Safeword” is the type of song that stays with you , even after the song has ended.

The band, made up of T, Charlie, Tim and Kynan, have been making music together since 2014. What was immediately apparent was that they’d found something special together, and the pursuit of this close band began in earnest.

Their debut single Safeword, produced and mixed at Stage 2 Studios with Josh Gallop (Mother Vulture, Krooked Tongue, Phoxjaw), explores the idea of escapism through nostalgia.

Discussing the inspirations behind the video, Kazer adds “Like most of my jokes, the fake blood ended up being a joke on myself and only myself. I got so swept up in making something that looked real that I forgot along the way that my mouth was the victim. The result was the most disgusting and disgusted I have been in my life. But it has come out looking great. Maybe too great at times. There’s some truly brutal imagery in there. But then its offset by a group of people having a great day. I think that’s what we wanted to represent. Humour in a horrible place. Kieran Gallop has done such an incredible job of creating exactly that, moments that make you smile and moments that make you wince. Anyway its great, the guys all gave stellar performances and i hope everyone dances away in their cars.”

Laced with brilliant melodies and flawless vocals, “Safeword “ is a song that will literally take your breath away . The Bedside Morale is a band that seems poised for greatness.

“It reflects on the comfort but also the denial that people find hiding behind the rose tinted lense of their youth. We had so much fun putting this song together with our producer Josh Gallop and there are some really special moments which came out of the spontaneity of those sessions. This marks the first single for us as a band and we feel it showcases our intention and solidifies our style. Everyone should have a Safeword, here is ours,” explains vocalist and lyricist Tim Kazer.
