Breakout four-piece Sleep Theory — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — have shared the video for ‘Fallout’ from their Paper Hearts EP, out now via the Epitaph Records. Get the EP, which has been streamed over 33 million times, here.
The video features intense performance footage colliding with equally intense apocalyptic imagery, both of which fit the urgency of the song. It’s a continuation of the end-of-the-world theme seen in the video for ‘Numb.’

“Creating ‘Fallout’ was a very personal for us, and seeing the music video come to life was surreal,” the band states. “The emotion in the track is something we poured our hearts into, and we’re thrilled that it resonates so powerfully with our fans. [Director] Orie [McGuiness] took our vision and elevated it beyond expectations. The way the music video captures the essence of the song is amazing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better visual representation for this song.”
Since bursting onto the scene earlier this year, Sleep Theory have gone from strength to strength — and they show no signs of slowing down.
The Paper Hearts EP features two buzzy singles — “Numb” and “Gone or Staying” — and the songs have 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, Punktastic, and beyond, as well as major nods from SiriusXM’s Octane, Sleep Theory have had a huge 2023 and are clearly gearing up for an even bigger 2024.
In just the past three months, Sleep Theory’s monthly listeners have more than doubled, while their YouTube channel views have tripled. They are averaging 1.5 million streams per week, while “Numb” is sitting at No. 16 on the Active Rock chart and continues to climb. The track was No. 1 on Sirius XM Octane, while the band was the first rock artist included in SiriusXM/Pandora’s Artist Accelerator program and will be a part of the Next Wave Concert Series this month.
