Sleeping With Sirens

About

Sleeping With Sirens has carved a unique niche in the post-hardcore scene, blending raw emotional intensity with melodic hooks that defy genre boundaries. Known for frontman Kellin Quinn’s soaring, androgynous vocals and the band’s dynamic interplay of heavy riffs and atmospheric textures, they’ve become a defining voice for a generation navigating love, loss, and self-discovery. Their sound, a fusion of post-hardcore, pop-punk, and emo, draws from influences like Underoath and Fall Out Boy, yet remains distinctly their own. Formed in 2009 in Orlando, Florida, Sleeping With Sirens quickly gained traction with their debut album, *With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear* (2010), which showcased their ability to balance aggression with vulnerability. Breakthrough moments followed, including the platinum-certified single “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hepburn” and their critically acclaimed 2013 album *Feel*, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. Their cultural impact extends beyond music, as they’ve become a beacon for mental health advocacy and LGBTQ+ representation, resonating deeply with their diverse fanbase. Collaborations with artists like Pierce the Veil and Machine Gun Kelly have further cemented their versatility, while their relentless touring and Warped Tour appearances solidified their reputation as a powerhouse live act. Recently, the band released *Complete Collapse* (2022), a return to their heavier roots, proving their enduring relevance. With a decade-long career and a loyal following, Sleeping With Sirens continues to evolve, pushing the boundaries of what post-hardcore can be.
