SLEEPTALKER

Nashville, Tennessee-based heavy music outfit SLEEPTALKER blends atmospheric textures, progressive songwriting and expressive lyrics into a crushing modern metalcore-influenced sound that is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically explosive. Emerging in 2024 with their debut EP, "Deathbed Confessions," SLEEPTALKER quickly established a distinct identity rooted in themes of grief, loss, reflection, and perseverance - highlighted by fan-favorite collaboration track "Illuminate(d) [ft. Myke Terry] " featuring Myke Terry (Volumes, Fire From The Gods). Following their first co-headlining tour in 2025, the band continued to build momentum with the release of "Kingdom of Glass," produced and co-written by Periphery vocalist Spencer Sotelo. In 2026, SLEEPTALKER signed with Tough Luck Music and released "Fractures," their second collaboration with Sotelo - a melodic yet emotionally heavy track exploring regret, loss and fractured relationships. With over 600,000 streams and a growing recognition within the modern heavy music scene, SLEEPTALKER continues to push forward with a sound that is both deeply personal and undeniably ambitious. The band is currently preparing the release of their sophomore EP, slated for late 2026. SLEEPTALKER is: Jamar Shipley, Cecil Thomas, John Parrish, and Alex McCown.
