SLEEPING WITH SIRENS IN CONCERT:
Post-hardcore rockers Sleeping with Sirens are masters of contrast, and their dynamic live shows are the best way to experience their staggering sonic range. The band's hard-hitting yet melodic sound is a juggernaut of blistering guitars and breakneck drums, but the earth-shaking onslaught of propulsive anthems like "If I'm James Dean, Then You're Audrey Hepburn" is tempered by the helium-high tenor of lead singer Kellin Quinn. It's an otherworldly voice unlike any other, and Quinn gives it room to breathe in concert, nailing acrobatic vocal passages while thrashing around the stage like a hurricane with a mic. The whirlwind of energy he unleashes is matched blow for blow by the rest of the band, who take things to the next level with scorching guitar riffs, chugging bass, and galloping drums that leave ticket buyers thoroughly rocked and ready for more.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Sleeping with Sirens formed in Orlando, FL in the late '00s and found a fast following thanks to their aggressive yet accessible sound and the singular leggero tenor voice of frontman Kellin Quinn. The band was picked up by metalcore label Rise Records, and in 2010 they dropped their full-length debut album With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear. The following year they released their sophomore album Let's Cheers to This to a Top 5 spot on the Hard Rock chart, and in 2013 they cracked the Top 3 on the mainstream Billboard 200 with their third album Feel. That record sold nearly 200,000 copies, earning them a strong overseas following and drawing them out for extensive touring including the 2013 Vans Warped Tour. Following a 2014 tour with Pierce the Veil, Sleeping with Sirens left Rise Records and signed with Epitaph. They made their debut on the label in 2015 with Madness, another commercial success that added high-octane tracks like "Kick Me" and "We Like it Loud" to the band's livewire sets on tour.
Sleeping with Sirens is such an amazing band to see live! I have yet to go to a show of theirs where I don’t have fun. One of my favorite bands ever.
All three bands at the show were great. SWS played their hits and never missed a bit. The venue was a little too crowded and in moments it got very intense when people were just pushing others hard to make them either get away or so annoyed that they had to leave. That's is the only downside of the show. Everything else was great.
The staff was very helpful and water was provided for those in line prior to entering the venue.
My sister and I had SO much fun at the Sleeping With Sirens concert!! The openers (Dead American and TX2) didn't hold back one bit, they really brought it which got the crowd pumped up and ready for SWS ???? Houston waited WAY too long for them to come and visit again; I hope they come back very soon ??
Sleeping with sirens was amazing and let’s not talk about tx2 they was dope CAM is it sleeping with sirens was the best concert I’ve ever been to such an inspiration
