In-Flight Safety is a Canadian indie rock group, currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The group consists of vocalist and guitarist John Mullane, keyboardist Daniel Ledwell, bassist Brad Goodsell and drummer Glen Nicholson.

History

The group met while undergrad students at Mount Allison University, in Sackville, New Brunswick, however the group members are natives of several provinces, including New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec.

The band released its debut EP, "Vacation Land", in 2004. They subsequently signed to Emm Gryner's Dead Daisy Records, and released their full-length debut album, "The Coast Is Clear", in early 2006. "The Coast Is Clear" was produced by Warne Livesey and the band, and has garnered airplay on CBC Radio 3 [ [http://www.newmusiccanada.com/genres/artist.cfm?Band_Id=9289 CBC Radio 3 - New Music Canada - Artist - In-Flight Safety ] ] and Halifax rock station Q104.

The band toured across Canada in the spring of 2006 to support both recordings, and completed a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland in the fall of the same year. They recently completed Canadian tour with fellow rock band Raising the Fawn from October 25–November 24, 2006. It was their second tour across Canada with Raising the Fawn.
