About Me

SleePFeeDeR is a D.I.Y. indie band that prides itself on diversity. Songwriting duo, Casey Firkin and Ike Sours founded the band in 2007 with that idea firmly in place. Greg Flynn compliments the duo with his intuitive drumming. With three full-lengths under their belts, the band continues drawing from a bottomless well for quality equal to the quantity. SLeePFeeDER believes in music and art, family and hard work. Not everyone will believe in them, but you should give them a try.
From the band:
“We just wanted to pass along thanks to those of you who have supported us in the past year of our musical endeavors. We have uploaded five songs from our newly released Cloven album and one from our recently released StreetSweeper album. Take some time to sit back and check out the new tunes at your leisure. If you are interested in a copy of the new album, please contact us and we'll get you one. The year of 2008 brought us some really creative moments and we can only speculate that 2009 is going to be just as creative. We have already begun crafting a new album to be released later in the year.If you have been keeping up with us at all, you'll soon realize that none of our material can be pegged one certain musical genre, and no two albums have been close in nature.
We like it that way.
Keeping you on your toes?
Maybe...
Actually we're just doing what WE want to do.
Thanks again, Casey, Ike & Greg"
