While She Sleeps are coming to Zurich on Friday, November 15, 2024 to play live at X-TRA! The world first heard singer Loz Taylor, guitarists Sean Long and Mat Welsh, bassist Aaran Mckenzie and drummer Adam Savage together on the 2010 EP "The North Stands for Nothing". Their energy and ambition immediately attracted attention. Sleeps' bombardment of punk attitude and seething metal exceeded all expectations, as did each of their subsequent albums. Their integration of pop, electronics and conscious lyrics that tackle depression and anxiety head-on has always put the band two steps ahead of their peers. In 2021 they played at Download Pilot and in 2023 a sold-out show in front of 10,000 people at London's Alexandra Palace. All the while, Sleeps have remained proudly and defiantly DIY. They've steered clear of the trappings of the conventional music industry by setting up their own base in their hometown of Sheffield. They release everything through their self-founded label 'Sleeps Brothers', while writing, self-managing, recording demos, producing and shooting music videos exclusively from their HQ. These tireless creatives even go so far as to build their own stage props, which have accompanied them on major tours across five continents.
