The Sleepwalkers

About Me

"Sheer rock 'n' roll awesomness. These motherfuckers have kicked the shit out of me every single time I've seen 'em (surely in the double digits by now) and I'm sure they'll continue this tradition in the future."
-Johnny Valiant
"Colin Sneed and Andrew Mullins spit out lyrics and bash away at their guitars at near light speed...Their MySpace page barely represents their live fury...The Sleepwalkers represent the best of first (Sex Pistols) and second (Replacements circa "Sorry Ma, I Forgot To Take Out The Trash") generation punk. The quartet raced through every song at breakneck speed..."-Mike Davis, The Hattiesburg American
