Sleeping With Sirens

I have been a fan of Sleeping With Sirens for years and it doesn't take Sherlock freaking Holmes to figure out why. Sleeping with Sirens is one of those great all around bands for many reasons, and can be easily enjoyed by just about anyone, not just the teenage girls that are in love with the attractive men of the band (although Justin Hills is quiet dreamy. Just sayin'.)
One fantastic thing about Sleeping With Sirens is they're one of those bands that really appreciates their fans and they show that at concerts. I have never felt more secure and accepted in a group of concert goers, which is saying something. Because Kellin Quinn the lead vocal of the band really makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable, it's hard to find a band that so clearly cares about their fans as much as these boys do, it's refreshing and makes every fan feel special.
But wonderful concert vibes aside the music itself is enough to go to the concert. Besides the music being well written and preformed, it's like they understand you. The music is always the perfect mix of teen angst and calm maturity, but with every album you can see their own slow growth and their latest album 'feel' (which is amazing btw) really shows how much they've learned from their own not so great experiences that relate with my own (and I guarantee most people's own) struggles. Every album leaves you feeling happy and comforted and maybe a little winded from all the unavoidable dancing. But now to the actual performance, which is AMAZING. Some singers' voices don't translate well in live performances. Kellin Quinn is not one of those singers, his voice is angelic as ever, and the band is just so great, no joke. I have loved every minute of every concert of theirs I've ever been to.
All in all this band means a lot to me, and thousands of other people, for thousands of reasons, but even if you weren't a die hard fan, the band is still so easy to enjoy, and the music is always exquisite, live or not.

Sleeping With Sirens... I saw them twice in 2013. Once at Warped Tour. Once during their Feel This Tour. Both times, they were great. They make jokes, they laugh at each other, they have fun. They really love their fans. They all make sure we have the time of our lives. Gabe threw guitar picks at us after every song, and after the concert was over. He even gave the set list to one of the fans that was closer up. He smiled at us, and got as close as he could without falling off the stage. Gabe looked like he was having the time of his life. During the Feel This Tour was when Jesse left. We were all heartbroken that a member of our beloved family was gone. But even though they were missing someone, they still had an amazing show. They know how to perform. Kellin's mother and father got divorced when he was young, and he lived with his father. One of his songs, Free Now, described how it was to come from a broken home and how it effected him. It really gets me. He's a real person, with real feelings, that had real problems in his life like everyone else, but still pushed through and managed to do what he always wanted. While they don't write their own songs, they still give inspiration to the writers. With some of the songs, you can really tell they came from the heart. They can make you cry if you listen hard enough. While some people may say crying because of a song is ridiculous, I disagree. Songs are apart of someone. They can describe their past through a song. It's beautiful. It truely is art. And Sleeping With Sirens make art.

I have never been so happy in a fricking long time. My face hurt I was smiling so much, my voice was rocky since I was singing so loud, and tears were streaming down my face because something that was just a dream became true. I never cry, especially when I'm happy because I've never felt happy enough to do so, but I couldn't help it.
At the meet and greet, when we had the pictures, I was so nervous but when we got to the front of the line, one of the members, I can't remember who, said how's it going? I was like, oh my gosh they care! Then I'm standing next to Kellin and said to myself, I'm so fricking nervous, but I don't know if heard me panic, which was good. ^_^ I loved seeing how happy they were to sing for us and create music that makes so many others happy; and that's truly a talent they have that not many other bands do. They really spoke to my heart, especially when they played Better Off Dead and Fire, and I really hope they come again! You guys have no idea what you're music and what you're "wrists are for bracelets not for cutting" has done for me. I loved seeing your performance!! When you all said those inspiration things you really gave me a lot of hope and I cannot thank you enough. But I'll say anyway, thank you so much, Sleeping With Sirens!

Sleeping With Sirens?
Well what can I say?

The whole concert had a great atmosphere. After people left after Pierce The Veil had been on, I managed to get to the barrier where I remained for the whole of SWS's set.

I had the perfect view of Kellin Quinn, Jack Fowler and Justin Hills, although Gabe Barham and Nick Martin were a little far away! Kellin was extremely into his music but managed to find the time to wave to me.

Jack was so focused on his guitar, he seemed extremely serious about it! Justin was amazingly into his playing also and was jumping around the stage as if he'd had a thousand energy drinks before hand. Gabe was constantly going for it and looked extremely sweaty by the end of it. I barely saw Nick at all!

Kellin was amazing vocally. He did a few little accapella pieces which was lovely. His voice gives me chills. He was always near us which was great! He also gave some adorable speeches which made me feel very special.

Overall it was amazing!

The Sleeping With Sirens show was simply fantastic. The entire band was energetic and really getting into it. Kellin was adorable as ever, and super funny and sweet to the crowd. They played their cover of Iris by Goo Goo Dolls and every single person sang along. I've never felt such amazing harmony. Sleeping With Sirens can go anywhere from post-hardcore to acoustic and pull it off nicely. Kellin decided to get on, not in, the crowd during a song. He made a few jokes and crowdsurfed a bit and it was adorable. The rest of the band played flawlessly through the songs and made it exciting. A lot of people say Kellin can be sort of a... let's say jerk, but he was sarcastic and sweet at the same time. Out of all the concerts I've been to, I'm happy to say these guys were some of the only bands that sound like they do on their CDs. This has been my favorite concert I've attended so far, and I would love to go back and do it all over again.

This was definitely the best concert I have been to. Kellin's voice sounded amazing, he has nice clean live vocals and they songs sounded the same as they did from the studio. Justin was really nice and dorky, typical Justin, but he payed a lot of attention to the fans as did Nick, Gabe and Jack. Kellin was really into the music and having a great time on stage. I had an amazing time that I wouldn't have traded for anything. This was the best birthday that I've ever had. It was just an amazing experience. Kellin even started beat boxing half way through (acoustic) Rodger Rabbit which was amazing. The set was amazing and if highly recommend anyone that listens to sleeping with sirens hasn't had the full experience until they see then live in concert. The songs meant a lot to me before..but after seeing them live, the songs mean so much more to me now.

My first concert seeing Sleeping with Sirens. When I first started listing to Sleeping with Sirens I fell in love. I love the lead singer's (Kellin Quinn) voice and style.The first song I heard from them was If You Can't Hang, which they performed at the concert. There wasn't any lip syncing at the concert. Before I went to the concert, I was studying the lyrics to their popular songs so I can sing along. Sleeping with Sirens is a post-hardcore band. I like hardcore rock but, that's probably different from your definition of Hardcore. Since they were a special guest on the Parks & Devastation tour I was able to take a picture of Kellin Quinn and watch him leave saying,"I LOVE YOU.I LOVE YOU" out the window of a taxi. For my 1st concert experience: would I go again? Yes.

Sleeping With Sirens was pretty good. Unfortunately the instruments were so loud you couldn't really hear Kellins vocals, except for the acoustic set.
As far as audience interaction goes, Jack, Nick, and Justin were awesome. Nick even came down and played right in front of my friends and I! It was pretty hard for Gabe, for obvious reasons, and Alex was placed in the back so he couldn't do much either. Kellin, however, didn't interact with the audience much. I don't know if this is normal for him or if he just wasn't feeling it last night (or maybe I just wasn't focused enough on Kellin).
All in all, it was a good show, with lots of energy from the band and the crowd, but these things, or at least the volume of Kellin's vocals, could definately be improved.

Sleeping With Sirens was not good at all. I have been a fan for a while now, and have seen them once before; but this performance was embarrassing. They started off with a weird video introduction and there was too much "cockiness" and a "full of themselves" attitude. They were jumping around and air grinding and it was nothing like their old sound. Half of the crowd left before they even came on stage. (They fall owed peirce the veil's set) I love SWS. But i don't know what they are thinking anymore. I left before the 3rd song ended. It was too ridiculous. I hope they turn their act around. They definitely didn't deserve the final spot on the stage. Pierce The Veil out shines them in every aspect of "down to earth" and "connecting with fans" sort of ways.

We arrived late, so we only saw a portion of the Mallory Knox band play. They were upbeat and fun, and I'm definitely going to have to check them out. There was a long wait between their set and Sleeping with Sirens, which was attributed to technical errors. Because of this, SWS came on and did two acoustic songs, which were pretty good. After that, they came on with high intensity and great music! It was fantastic. I already want to see them again. :) Then Pierce the Veil came on, and played an equally as great and energetic show. At one point, Vic played an acoustic song, and brought a girl onstage to sing to her. The best part, was when Kellin (SWS) came back on stage to play "King For A Day" with them as their closing song. Amazing show!!
