On Gossip, Sleeping With Sirens have reached the artistic heights they began moving towards since their debut nearly 10 years ago. “We finally captured the live experience with Bendeth,” explains frontman Kellin Quinn. “We have the production, but there’s a rawness that comes through. Musically, I feel like it’s the first Sirens record that sounds specifically like us. We took chances, experimented, and continued to do what we do best: create art. It’s something new. It has an authentic sound that we’ve been working towards all this time.”
Sleeping With Sirens – Kellin Quinn [vocals, keyboards], Jack Fowler [lead guitar], Nick Martin [rhythm guitar], Justin Hills [bass], and Gabe Barham [drums]— have emerged as one of the most influential artists in the alternative rock genre, selling an impressive 1.5 million albums worldwide with over 400M + Spotify streams and 350M+ Youtube views. Since the release of their 2010 debut With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear, the band has quietly pushed the envelope, delivering a delicate one-two punch of towering melodies and tight musicality that has galvanized a diehard fan base dubbed “Strays.” From the #3 debut of 2013’s Feel on the Billboard Top 200, to the Top 15 success of 2015 follow-upMadness, Sleeping With Sirens have earned unanimous acclaim, with The New York Timespraising how the music “blends tender and anguished in equal measure,” whileAlternative Press dubbed them 2014 “Artist of the Year” at the Alternative Press Music Awards and have touted them on its cover six times. They have headlined sold-out shows all over the world, and graced the main stages of several prestigious festivals, includingWarped Tour, Reading & Leeds and more.

Denver, CO’s CRAFTEON have unleashed their new video “What The Moon Brings” in support of their debut album “Cosmic Reawakening” due out on August 25th. The band is the conception of vocalist and guitarist Lord Mordiggian whom has been inspired to create an entire album influenced by his favorite writer H.P. Lovecraft. The eight tracks on the release are based on classic H.P. Lovecraft tales such as ‘The Outsider’, ‘Dagon’ and ‘From Beyond’. Achieving the unachievable in crafting music to match the stories, CRAFTEON can be best described as Bardic Black Metal.
Lord Mordiggian comments:
“This recording prudently recounts an antiquarian bundle of peculiar short stories authored by the famed American horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft, featuring a blasphemous potpourri of amorphous black metal enmeshed with spurious, assonant passages of hope juxtaposed and vanquished by discordant strains of utter despair and madness.”
