We sat down with @sssafetyssswitch —a new Atlanta-based indie rock project formed in 2025 complete with members who have amassed years of experience in the scene performing in other projects—to discuss the band’s collaborative songwriting process, piecing things together, and through that, finding catharsis other gigs don’t always offer.

📼🎶 Safety Switch x #StandardSelects | Atlanta-based indie rock project @sssafetyssswitch performs their song “Host” live at Standard Electric Recorders Co.
Safety Switch, formed in 2025, is a new Atlanta-based project comprised of some of the indie scene’s heaviest hitters, featuring Tom Sinclair (Elesa Sparkle, major) and Tim Holder (Bathe Alone, Sleepers Club) on guitar, Anna Griffith (Bathe Alone, Sleepers Club) on bass, and Mason Palanti (Mallbangs, Scattrbrain, Sleepers Club) on drums. The four-piece brings a nearly exorcising sound that combines the ‘90s DIY post-punk twang of Slint, the incandescent slow rock disco of Dry Cleaning, and the emotional drive of ‘In Utero’-era Nirvana. What started out as a side project between four friends while working on respective projects comes a new indie rock sound the Atlanta scene needs.
