Bay Ledges have shared a lyric video for their song “Safe.” You can watch the video here.

“Their lyric video for “Safe” adds another layer of intrigue to their approach, with LA soaked visuals that read Miami Vice meets Andy Warhol.”- Culture Collide

The band currently reside in Los Angeles however they are originally from Bath, ME.  They released the song “Safe” late last fall and it unexpectedly is approaching 2 million streams on Spotify.  It was at the urging of family and friends that principal band member Zach Hurd even released the song, so its success is most unexpected to him. Making no effort to promote it, within weeks, the track landed on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds” playlist, then shot up the Global Viral chart. “At the time I was in Williamsburg, Virginia, helping to clear out my grandparents’ old house,” recalls Hurd, “Every day I’d wake up to something new. It was so surreal -like, ‘This unbelievable thing is happening, and I’m alone in Colonial Williamsburg.’”  In addition to the success at Spotify, the song was selected a “Today’s Top Tune” at KCRW for tomorrow, April 18.

Bay Ledges, which features Hurd’s sister Georgia on vocals, take their name from a plot of land that their grandparents owned in Maine. The band is currently working on an EP for S-Curve Records to be released later this summer.
