bio:
In the heart of California's Central San Joaquin Valley, the members of The Sleepover Disaster came together out of a reverence for the shoegaze scene of late 1980s UK, working since to develop a sound greater than the sum of their influences. The members of the band played in more than a dozen bands over the years; this is the band we were looking for.

If songs like these...are a sign of things to come from the band, I'm all for it. ...awesomely charged vocal performance. LosingToday.com, re: The Oceanographer CDEP
layered soundscapes of guitars married to some pounding post-shoegazer rock... This record is just shockingly great. Fire up that browser and get out the credit card. -The Big Takeover, re: Loud is the New Quiet CD
one of the finer bands to be found on the shoegazer scene today. Very impressive. ...some truly killer songs that you will return back to over and over again. -LosingToday.com, re: Loud is the New Quiet CD
dreamy-yet-intense shoegazer pop. Rightfully, it should be loud.
