“Break Me Down’ follows the release of first new single from the upcoming album, ‘Leave it All Behind’ which delighted Sleeping With Sirens fans across the globe upon its release. Being heralded as a return to the band’s earlier, heavier form, ‘Break Me Down’ is a further taster of this return to their heavier roots with huge riffs, frantic drums and visceral screams from the band’s frontman, Kellin Quinn.
Released exactly 1 month ago (June 19th), first single ‘Leave It All Behind’ has already hit over 2.2 million streams on Spotify, the official music video has clocked up 1.5 million views on YouTube and it’s been featured on the cover major streaming playlists including Spotify’s ‘Rock This’ and ‘New Core’, Amazon Music’s ‘Rock Scene’ as well as being included on Apple Music’s ‘Breaking Hard Rock’, Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’ & ‘Kickass Metal’ and Deezer’s ‘Heavy New Rock’.

Since emerging in 2010, Sleeping With Sirens have tested the boundaries of rock by walking a tightrope between pop, punk, metal, hardcore, electronic, acoustic, and even a little R&B. This high-wire balancing act attracted a faithful fan base known as “Strays,” generated global album sales in excess of 1.5 million, ignited over half-a-billion streams, and achieved a trio of gold-selling singles: “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hepburn,” “If You Can’t Hang,” and “Scene Two-Roger Rabbit.” They launched two albums—Feel and Madness—into the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200. Additionally, they collaborated with MGK on “Alone” and Pierce the Veil on the gold-certified “King For A Day.” Beyond selling out shows worldwide and receiving acclaim from The New York Times, Alternative Press crowned them “Artist of the Year” at the Alternative Press Music Awards, proclaimed “Kick Me” the 2015 “Song of the Year”, and featured them as cover stars a whopping seven times.
Now, the band are wiping the slate clean and turning the page to the next chapter. Sleeping With Sirens re-center, recalibrate, and realign on their fifth full-length and first album for Sumerian Records, ‘How It Feels to Be Lost’, which was recorded at MDDN Studios in Los Angeles and produced by Zakk Cervini (Yungblud & Good Charlotte) and Matt Good (Asking Alexandria).
Sleeping With Sirens have been touring the USA as part of the Rockstar Disrupt Festival and will appear at Vans Warped Tour in Mountain View, CA this weekend. They will also play Exit 111 and Las Rageous this Summer/fall.
