Sleepy Sun Packs A Punch
Sleepy Sun is a California outfit with well-honed grandiose visions. They are a band that traverses the sonic spectrum, from loud distorted guitars to blissed-out acoustic atmospheres, pulsating rhythms and reverbed vocal melodies, from driving walls of sound to ambient moments of tranquility.
Their two two albums have not garnered quite as much attention as they deserve, but they continue to draw crowds across North America and Europe with their dominating brand of rock.
