Atlanta gothic pop/rock and roll band Sarah And The Safe Word have released their new EP, 'Red Hot & Holy,' out on all digital platforms NOW. The lead single (and title track) was released on Sept 21, and offers up an ambitious combination of gothicism, dark pop, and hints of gospel. Sarah And The Safe Word introduce a wide variety of instruments in their twist on modern rock, including those such as violins and double keyboards, morphing together to create a dynamic listening experience.
