Established twin cities Heavy rock band, Sleep Is The Enemy has grown in every way since they first joined in April of '08. With the creative correlation between Guitarist/Vocalist, Dave Pickerign, and Bassist/Vocalist, Josh Nickleby, they have grown from their first song. When Joey Radke entered the band as a headstrong and driven drummer, it was a completed match and the band has been growing ever since.
Early 2009 SITE welcomed a new member of the band. Sir Max Havlish entered as a second guitarist and filled out an empty void that was pressing on the songs.
In their area they have played with such nationals as: Black Stone Cherry, The Exies, Trust Company, Earshot and many others. They have traveled around the Midwest piercing ears with their hollow needle of hard rock.
They have just recently recorded a new EP, "Daydreams & Nightmares" with 3 re-recorded songs and 1 fresh brand new song! Don't get them wrong though, the newly re-recorded songs are amped up and chalked full of tasty new tidbits. "Masquerade", "Through The Skin" and "Eternally" are heavy hitting songs with their touch of compassion, anger, sorrow and everything in-between. But overall, they are just heavy-hitting rock and metal. The newly recorded "Just Another" is catchy and driving, said some who previewed the song. "It makes you want to stand up on a table and shout along!" This EP should be out sometime this summer!
SITE is dedicated to getting its fans amazing music and an even better live shows!
"We want to see as many people as we can at shows and we want our music to circulate to everyone. Everyone counts, everyone matters. You make the music, we are the orchestrators of your drive and need. We care for our fans a great deal, and none of this would be possible without them. THANK YOU!!" ~ Sleep Is The Enemy
