sleepmakeswaves are an instrumental rock band from Sydney, Australia. Drawing influences mainly from but not limited to post-rock, the young quartet mix driving metallic bombast with textured electronics to create a sonic space where delicate melodies and thunderous climaxes peacefully co-exist.

Since their formation in late 2006, sleepmakeswaves have rapidly established themselves as a promising and unique voice in their field. Within the space of a year the band has enjoyed considerable word-of-mouth support and have landed auspicious opening slots with post-rock luminaries such as Pelican, Laura and Meniscus on the back of their powerful live show and acclaimed demo recording. The two track demo can be downloaded for free through the Lost Children online label.

The band recently released their debut EP “in today already walks tomorrow” which has been praised non-stop by both fans and press since. You can read a review of this brilliant EP HERE. “in today already walks tomorrow” can be purchased in both download and physical form, through the bands website at sleepmakeswaves.com

The band may seem a bit out of place on our website, but metal fans are often very open minded to other (real) music and we believe this is a band that many metalheads will enjoy.

We recently conducted an interview with Tom (guitars) from the band, which you can read HERE
