Sleeping With Sirens

Falling on the more melodic side of the post-hardcore world, Florida's Sleeping with Sirens create a whirlwind of emotion with their yearning and aggressive blend of metal and emo influences. Formed in 2009, Sleeping with Sirens -- featuring vocalist Kellin Quinn, guitarists Justin Hills and Jesse Lawson, bassist Jack Fowler, and drummer Gabe Barham -- quickly caught the attention of metalcore label Rise Records, who signed them and released their debut record, With Ears to See, and Eyes to Hear, in 2010. The album launched the band onto the Billboard Heatseekers chart, debuting at number seven and selling over 25,000 copies. Their sophomore effort, Let's Cheers to This, arrived in May of the following year.
