With a fury of blistering guitar riffs, captivating hooks and sing-a-long melodies, Sleepless Nights is a four-piece rock n’ roll tour-de-force.
Mixing classic rock bravado with dance rhythms and all-out volume, Sleepless Nights create songs that The Best Line of Fit call “tracks that should soundtrack parties and fill dance floors the world over.â€
Their latest project – an ambitious three-record giveaway on their website over the span of nine months – is leading to the release of their third yet to be titled LP.
Their last LP, Turn Into Vapour, was lauded by critics as “smart but unselfconscious, the music ambitious without burying the pop hooks†(The Coast), “sharp hooks, a brisk pace and sing-along slacker choruses†(The Montreal Mirror), and “music is embued with the same kind of upbeat poppiness around which bands like Sloan and Wintersleep have built their careers†(I (heart) music).
Over the past five years, the band (AA Wallace –guitar/vocals, Trevor Murphy – bass/vocals, Josh Pothier – drums, Jeff Pineau – synths) has been cementing their reputation as an indie powerhouse on the east coast and relentlessly touring the rest of the country.
