Beware of Safety

Beware of Safety, commonly abbreviated as BoS, is an instrumental post-rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band plays sprawling, instrumental rock that could be classified as post-metal, post-rock, and even math rock. Beware of Safety has six official releases in its catalog: It Is Curtains (2007), dogs (2009), Giants/BoS Split 7" (2011), Leaves/Scars (2011), Lotusville (2014), and Mabon (2015).

The band has received a notable amount of press for their album dogs, including a write-up in Wired Magazine's Sunday Soundtracking.[1][2]

In early 2009, Tad Piecka joined BoS on bass, expanding the band to five members.

The creation of 2011's Leaves/Scars was a tumultuous time for BoS with members contemplating quitting the band.[3]

Beware of Safety's 2014 album Lotusville reflects the band's experiences living in Los Angeles, California.[3]
