Safeguard is a five-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.
2025 brought the return of Safeguard–encapsulating their original sound, mixed with new ideas and direction.Following a sold-out headline show at Oporto in Leeds, the momentum hasn’t slowed: with regular live shows and slots alongside bands like Could Be Ghosts, Monroe, Jetski, and Really Big Really Clever. 2026 now sees Safeguard re-establishing themselves as a must-see live act with shows that connect deeply with an audience
