   About Polite Sleeper
Polite Sleeper is a folk mess for lovers and readers.

Pretty simple overall: keep the songs pretty and the shows sweaty, but remember to laugh, respect and practice the tougher scales. It's about doing more with less these days, with a few choice stories to lead the way. Afterall, it's really just the self-improvement we're after, and while we've each done a lot with music over the years, we've never quite done it like this, you know?

More important, PS is still a punk band. We record in our living rooms and kitchens, exclusively. We keep the traffic noise and dead notes as reminders of that. We give each other high-fives when it feels right and enjoy the times when it all falls apart. It's as authentic as we do and that's plenty for now.

Keep it up.
-ps

You can now officially look forward to not having an angry german rental dude wanting to kill you. Or well, monday you will.

It was great having all of you guys here. Hoping that we'll get a second take at it! (and Jason, the next time we shall ride bikes! Less tired, less sick = great combo)

Take care on the rest of the tour!

Hello,

I really like your ep which I purchased two days ago. Fine lyrics, great drums. I was a bit disappointed that the b-side was not. Waiting for the new release...thank you.
