Safeguard is a 5-piece emo/pop punk band from Yorkshire. Formed in late 2016, they released their debut EP When Did You Stop Caring? In 2017, quickly earning a name for themselves within the scene. Described by Rock Sound as “colliding emo introspection and high-flying pop punk”, the band released I’m a Stranger to Myself featuring lead singles ‘Harbour’ and ‘November’. After a fast-paced few years and touring extensively across the UK, following farewell single ‘Severance’ in late 2017, the band announced an indefinite hiatus –disbanding in early 2019.
