SLEEPTALKER

Florida heavy music outfit SLEEPTALKER is redefining what it means to experience love, loss, grief, and hopelessness, while seeking solace in the unity those emotions can bring.

SLEEPTALKER emerged onto the scene in 2024 with their debut single, 'LakeSideDreams,' after years of work behind the scenes, honing their skills and building a strong team of creatives. Their introspective and evocative lyrics, paired with an explosive, unique, and well-rounded sound, position SLEEPTALKER to become a mainstay in the genre.

The band has faced their own share of grief, notably when drummer Eugene Plastino was involved in a near-fatal car accident that left him with a broken back, neck and in a coma, unsure if he'd ever walk again. After months of recovery, the band channeled the emotions of this traumatic experience into their music. In August 2024, SLEEPTALKER announced their debut EP, Deathbed Confessions, set for release in December. This journey of visceral self-reflection begins with the EP's first single, 'Opaque.'

In a haunting attempt to bridge the gap between old school and new, SLEEPTALKER unveiled the EP's 2nd single, Illuminate(d), featuring Myke Terry from Volumes in October 2024, solidifying the band as a modern sonic force to be reckoned with.
