Breakout four-piece Sleep Theory — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — were one of the biggest success stories of 2023. With monthly streams numbering at nearly 11 million per month, a Top 10 track at Active Rock, and a full slate of touring through early summer, the band continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Sleep Theory also show absolutely no signs of slowing down, with more music on the horizon!
Today, they release the official video for the hit single ‘Gone or Staying.’ Watch it here.
The story-driven video perfectly captures the song’s melancholy subject matter — holding on to a bad relationship when you really should just let go and burn it all to the ground, quite literally — and is bathed in beautiful blue tones.
“‘Gone or Staying’ is a special song to us as a band. In this video, we wanted to capture the tension between a couple’s relationship as it comes to an end, and the grieving process of letting go of what once was,” the band shares. “Cullen can be seen throughout the video walking through what once was, and eventually burning his past to move on.”
The band’s Paper Hearts EP is out now via the Epitaph Records. Get the EP, which has been streamed over 87 million times, here.
Since bursting onto the scene earlier this year, Sleep Theory have gone from strength to strength. The Paper Hearts EP has established Sleep Theory as one of the most exciting and talked about artists of 2023. The band was praised by Loudwire for its ability to “adapt 2000s arena rock and nu-metal for the future with their anthemic metal-tinged sound that would please any fan of Linkin Park and their ilk. At once enthralling, emotional and disarming, Sleep Theory’s supercharged single ‘Numb’ is everything a radio rock fan could want. You’ll be humming it for days after.”With further press coverage from American Songwriter,Billboard,Celebrity Access, and Punktastic and with forthcoming coverage at Men’s Journal, Consequence, and Alt Press, they’ve enjoyed major nods from SiriusXM’s Octane. They’ve toured with everyone from Shinedown to Set It Off to Beartooth,shared stages with I Prevail and Falling In Reverse, and have appeared at Louder Than Life, Rock Fest, ShipRocked, and count Jellyroll and David Draiman (Disturbed) as fans.
