Apparently Safe In Sound Festival Was Really Loud

Safe In Sound rolled through Orlando, FL this past weekend touting an insane lineup including names like Destroid, Flux Pavilion, and UZ. The bass heavy lineup brought out a huge crowd and rocked them with 150,000 watts of sound. Although I’m sure everyone in attendance had a great time raging to Flux, getting grimey with that UZ trap, and raising their fists with Destroid, some of the neighborhood didn’t appreciate the music the same way attendees did.

According to the video below there were numerous calls to the local police station as a result of the show. Neighbors complained that their houses were shaking and the music kept them up late. Some of the video shown depicts some pretty wild scenarios with ceiling tiles being shaken down and walls vibrating (I think there may have been some earthquake footage slipped in there.)

Although I’m sure everyone had a blast at the show I can’t help but comment on this situation. I’ve seen Destroid before a few times and I know I’m not alone in saying they could turn down the volume a little bit. A show like this that pisses off the neighbors is a bad reflection on the scene and the people who enjoy this music. Just the fact that whatever local news channel picked up the story is proof enough. Of course they didn’t talk about how much money the festival brought in for the town or any of the positive outcomes; they only talk about the negative. I would honestly be surprised if Safe In Sound (the irony of the name of the fest cannot be lost on any of us) is allowed back in this neighborhood next year.
