Safer By The Shore is Brien Sweet's outlet for original crafted songs. The music is most characterized by the honest vulnerable emotion put into catchy melodic songs. Brien is influenced by many directions in music, but always finds his way back to 90's alternative rock and 80's new wave. In 2007 he released his debut album consisting of mostly stripped down acoustic songs, entitled Everyone We Know, Are They Listening Now?. Soon after the band "Safer By The Shore" was formed playing many of the acoustic songs as full out high energy rock tunes. After a few fizzled out live band line up changes, the music became a more electronic oriented studio project.

In Feb 2010, a brand new album of songs was comprised, completely written and recorded within the month. The album is called We Belong In The Sky. The title track sums up the overall theme of the album of "enduring the current struggles until something better comes along" with the lyrics: "We belong to something better, the greater good will prevail". This is further elaboarted in the song Where It Belongs: "Where we're wanted to be - we're there already. All in all it's where it belongs, where we belong. Trust in the Father, it's what we must endure."

Through the Darkness, We Will Find the Light, the newest album is expected to be released Winter 2012. Check out the two song preview of "Mistakes" and "Winter Solstice" here.
