Sleeping With Sirens

Falling on the more melodic side of the post-hardcore world, Florida’s Sleeping with Sirens create a whirlwind of emotion with their yearning and aggressive blend of metal and emo influences. Formed in 2009, Sleeping with Sirens — featuring vocalist Kellin Quinn, guitarists Jack Fowler and Jesse Lawson, bassist Justin Hills, and drummer Gabe Barham — quickly caught the attention of metalcore label Rise Records, which signed them and released their debut record, With Ears to See, And Eyes to Hear, in 2010. The album launched the band onto the Billboard Heatseekers chart, debuting at number seven and selling over 25,000 copies. Their sophomore effort, Let’s Cheers to This, arrived in May of the following year. At the beginning of 2013, the bandmembers announced they had entered the studio to record their third album, and Feel was released just six months later. The album debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Madness, the band’s fourth studio long-player and first outing for Epitaph Records, arrived in early 2015. Live and Unplugged followed the next year, an acoustic set that also included covers of Sublime’s “Santeria” and Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris.” The band’s fifth set, Gossip, arrived in 2017 on Warner Bros. Produced by David Bendeth, the album featured a stark, pop-friendly shift heard on tracks such as the lead single “Legends.” Over the next two years, the band played major tours of North America and Europe in support of the album, and in early 2019 announced a new record deal with Sumerian Records. Their first effort for the label, How It Feels to Be Lost, arrived later that year. Their sixth album, How It Feels marked a return to their heavier post-hardcore sound and featured the singles “Leave It All Behind” and “Break Me Down,” as well as a collaboration with Benji Madden. Upon release, the set debuted within the Top 100 on the Billboard 200.
