Sleeping With Sirens are rising stars in the world of post-hardcore, having mastered the successful recipe for a tasty portion of heavy metal: heavy, aggressive metal riffs are skilfully drenched with light, palatable, melodious, and infectious vocals, lapped up by tough hardcore kids and dainty teenagers alike.

After two full-length albums with Rise Records (Make Do And Mend, Hot Water Music, and The Devil Wears Prada), this fivesome from the Sunshine State of Florida this year released the acoustic EP 'If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack'. On it, singer Kellin Quinn's falsetto vocals are beautifully enhanced by producer Mark Trombino, who has previously worked with Jimmy Eat World, Finch, and Blink-182. This EP is proof that SWS have more up their sleeves than the average post-hardcore band.

Sleeping With Sirens will release a brand new album in Belgium in mid-2013, in which they promise to take no prisoners with their pop-injected metalcore. “Get excited for 2013, we’re going to go 100% into next year”, they write in their bio. That's code for “let's bring the house down!”

Metal/Heavy/Awesome is what's to be read on the facebook page of The Word Alive, they aren't wrong either. Last year they headed out on the road with Parkway Drive after their second ‘Life Cycles’, via Fearless Records (Blessthefall, At the Drive-In), scored high points worldwide, and now they're able to release their metalcore skills upon the audience of an AB. Our Last Night bear the brunt. ‘Age Of Ignorance’ is already their third album on the legendary Epitaph Records (Parkway Drive, Bad Religion, Bring Me The Horizon) and that can only mean one thing: the five from New Hampshire, US make finger-lickin' good metalcore.
