Sleepwave’s Broken Compass Out

SLEEPWAVE STREAMS NEW ALBUM AT ALTERNATIVE PRESS

Sleepwave is on Tour Now
Broken Compass is Out on Epitaph Records on Sept. 16

“Broken Compass is direct adrenaline rush that that offers energy and melody” – Alternative Press (4/5 stars)

Sleepwave is the new band from former Underoath singer Spencer Chamberlain, featuring band mate Stephen Bowman. Their debut album Broken Compass is out on September 16 via Epitaph Records. They are sharing it in full at Alternative Press today.

Chamberlain and Bowman gravitated toward one another several years ago, based on their mutual appreciation of bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Filter. Broken Compass was produced by David Bendeth (Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men, All Time Low) and it combines their mutual interests as they deliver the grungy side of rock music through the lens of classic song structure and melody. Sleepwave cuts through the white noise of sound-a-like charlatans like a dull knife. Broken Compass, speaks truth to power by bucking trends and digging deeply with a creative determination all too lacking today.

A Sleepwave show is full of spit, snot, bile and vibrant redemption, performed by the core duo of Spencer Chamberlain and Stephen Bowman (and various live collaborators) with purpose and meaning. Compared to the camera-ready prima donnas around them, these guys look like they slept in a gas station and they sound like the pop apocalypse.

With Chamberlain at the helm, he states, “Sleepwave is heavy and aggressive, but there’s a lot more to explore….There’s a somber overtone to the album, there’s a lot of sadness, but there is also some hope. Not everyone will love Sleepwave…but if you are upsetting people, they’re still responding emotionally all the same.”

Sleepwave’s track “Through The Looking Glass” is currently #37 on the Active Rock Charts. The band will play in Sacramento at the Aftershock Festival on September 14, in addition to wrapping up their tour with Nothing More. All remaining show dates are listed below.
