"The Sleeping Revolt is a band that puts out music they like and go for deeper meanings as opposed to some other music that is out right now" ~ The Beacon - William Paterson University

"The Sleeping Revolt, a Wayne, New Jersey, band with some solid intentions to take over the rock alternative universe. With their latest release of their EP entitled "Nightmares," USA4real believes TSR has what it takes to make it at the next level. A solid label, a tour, and a little marketing will go a long way allowing the suits to sleep well at night with these guys signed to their label." - USA4Real, Upstream Radio – www.usa4real.com

“The Sleeping Revolt, our guests for the night on loan from New Jersey, brought their IndieRockAlternative a long way to entertain the night life at Maggies. They kicked their set off with James Dean Had It Right, These Hands Don't Lies and The Audition. All upbeat, all delivered with enthusiasm, these guys like what their doing, I can't stress enough how much of a difference that makes when your in a new town and trying to make a good impression. If your not "Into" what your doing, it'll show, these 5 droogs have got a knack for what they do, energetic and just an overall feel of profesessionalism, well oiled jams they have no doubt practiced many, many hours. They did a cover of Five To One, the last Doors cover I heard was at this very club, it was Mad Yellow Sun and they destroyed it, can't even remember the song they hacked, but this cover made up for it, they took the original and brought it up to date, Chris: Vocals even pulled off a convincing "Morrison", good job. Wiretapped And Brave closed the set nicely, no aftertaste, no clean up needed. I describe their sound as City Powered Radio meets Foo Fighters...if your an IndieRockFan, these guys may be of some interest to you.” Thumb from WNYR Radio – www.allwnyradio.com

“The Sleeping Revolt is an amazing talent and the hardest-working band in New Jersey. Their commitment to their music and success is unsurpassable. This band needs should be signed!” Lisa (Entertainment Scheduling) Dexter's Entertainment Complex www.dextersentertainment.com
