Sleeping With Sirens biography

The post-hardcore band Sleeping with Sirens formed in Orlando, Florida, US, but would later relocate to Grand Rapids, Michigan, US. The band features members of other post-hardcore bands like Broadway, For All We Know, and Paddock Park, which meant that the members were already experienced musicians before formation.

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.

Live reviews

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.
