Asleep is a melting pot of musical genres set to a conceptual theme while overflowing with hooks and creativity. Dark in content and vast in scope, "All These Things We'll Never Need" is cinematic and compelling. Essential listening for those thinking outside of the box.

"I wish i could accurately describe my thoughts while hearing asleep for the first time but it wouldn't do them any justice. the first thing i said after the first song ended was Alias Who?You know the easter story how Mary Magdelene ran to the tomb of Jesus and the angel of the Lord says "Why are you looking for the living amongst the dead? Behold he has risen... i pretty much felt the same way. -- There were only a few people in the room for the preview but every single one of them could be seen picking up their jaws off of the floor."

(5/22/05) pattonoswalt.com -
"We all went to this post-prom/graduation party afterward, where a band called Asleep played. Very passionate, wall-of-sound, murky grung-y type stuff. I kept thinking, as I watched them flail around and scream, that there might be something to grey-sky industrial wastelands for producing self-loathing murk-rockers. Is Youngstown the next Seattle? Or is there some random lottery around the country, where a couple dozen forsaken towns like this one produce a similar, pissed-off sound, and its up to the fates to decide which town the Music Industry waddles into the selects? Who knows?"
-Patton Oswalt of "The King of Queens"

(8/25/05) The Vindicator -
-VALLEY BAND HAS NO ONE MUSICAL STYLE- "Noise is arbitrary. One person's din is another person's inspiration. Such is the case for Youngstown band Asleep, which explores melodies and crosses boundaries with impunity, creating a melange of ambient music, hardcore discord, alternative bliss and emo weirdness"
-John Benson (The Vindicator / www.vindy.com)

(12/15/05) The Vindicator -
"Falling somewhere between The Mars Volta and 30 Seconds to Mars - blending hard-core; alternative and emo styles - Asleep's sound has gotten the attention of many national music industry players."
-John Benson (The Vindicator / www.vindy.com)

Asleep - "All These Things We'll Never Need" (2006)

Refusing the worn out formulas of current mainstream trends in favor of making the most genuine music possible is no easy task in today's often uninspiring music market. Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, Asleep is a band that has lived this statement to the fullest building a strong industry and regional buzz with the strength of their first two-disc release "All These Things We'll Never Need" (Fractured Transmitter). Set to a conceptual theme, the album is somewhat of a throw-back to the experimental classic rock sounds of the sixties and seventies while still overflowing with pop hooks and marketing sensibility. The band is truly a melting pot of musical genres that has been captivating audiences across several states with their cinematic and energetic live show. The members of Asleep are no strangers to performing to large crowds having supported numerous major-touring acts such as Hawthorne Heights, Motley Crue, Three Days Grace, Kill Hannah, The Exies, Smile Empty Soul, Trapt, Mushroomhead, Flaw, Deftones, and Strata to name a few. Essential listening for those thinking outside of the box, Asleep wishes to prove they can stand out among the current oversaturated modern rock and alternative formats as something just different enough to capture the attention of all ears they come across.

Well it has been awhile since I played in a music project. Well if you remember or maybe you heard of Day Of Atonement(Youngstown, Ohio) at one time or another. I'm happy to say that no we are not getting back together!!! A plus is that I'm now playing guitar with another music project that features another ex-Day Of Atonement member "vocalist" JASON BIDLEMAN on drums; ANDREW DEVLIN from PHATSO "remember the very first Tooth & Nail compliation" on guitar; JEFF TERLECKI on bass; WE NEED A VOCALIST?

Yesterday we recorded a live ruff demo of a song we are working with to search for a vocalist. I posted the song my MYSPACE profile only for the purpose to find a vocalist. PLEASE check it out and tell me what you think? If you like it request PARATUS as a friend. We will be posting better recordings in the future. YOU CAN ALSO SAMPLE THE DEMO TRACK @ http://www.myspace.com/paratusmusic

REQUIREMENTS FOR VOCALIST:
Vocalist must be 18-37 and have transportation to practice on Wednesday evening and Saturday daytime. Lives near Youngstown, Ohio. Understands we write and play music only for fun. No ego or negative attitudes accepted.

Thanks.
