Sleeping With Sirens und Haunt

Once the band formed in 2009 they were quick to release their debut album “With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear”, which came out in 2010 on Rise Records. The album was an immediate success within the post-hardcore and emo world, and would reach the number seven spot on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart.

Sleeping with Sirens was quick to draw in the audiences’ attention with their melodic take on the post-hardcore genre. The post-hardcore genre can be known to display music that is often abrasive and often hard to digest, but Sleeping with Sirens were not afraid to take the genre in a more pop oriented direction. Kellin Quinn’s voice is incredibly distinctive, singing in the tenor leggiero range, which allows his voice to jump up to very high ranges. Their music features heavy guitar riffs as well as fast sweeping guitar leads that are layered over the thunderous sounds of the drums.

Just a year after Sleeping with Sirens released their debut album they released their second studio album “Let’s Cheers to This”, which featured some of their most popular songs like “Do It Now Remember It Later” and “Fire”. The album also was a commercial success reaching the number five slot on the Billboard’s Hard Rock chart.

With the release of their third studio album “Feel”, Sleeping with Sirens really started to break into the mainstream. The album reached number three on Billboard’s US 200 chart and received critical praise from such publications as Alternative Press and Allmusic. The album contained the singles “Low” and “Alone” as well as featured several guest musicians such as the rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

When Sleeping with Sirens aren’t busy writing and recording new material they are out on the road playing shows that are often sold out. They have toured with many well-regarded bands within their genre such as Breathe Carolina, Memphis May Fire, and Pierce the Veil. They have also played festivals such as Vans Warped Tour where they have pulled in large crowds as the main act.
