Florida / Tennessee heavy music outfit SLEEPTALKER is redefining what it means to experience love, loss, grief, and hopelessness, while seeking solace in the unity those emotions can bring. SLEEPTALKER emerged onto the scene in 2024 with their debut track, LakeSideDreams, after years of work behind the scenes, honing their skills and building a strong team of creatives. Their introspective and evocative lyrics, paired with an explosive, unique, and well-rounded sound, position SLEEPTALKER to become a mainstay in the genre. The band has faced their own share of grief, notably when drummer Eugene Plastino was involved in a near-fatal car accident that left him in a coma, unsure if he'd ever walk again. After months of recovery, the band channeled the emotions of this traumatic experience into their music. In August 2024, SLEEPTALKER announced their debut EP, Deathbed Confessions, set for release in December, showcasing stand out single Illuminate(d) featuring Myke Terry from Volumes & Fire From The Gods. SLEEPTALKER truly came into their final form with the EP's last single, Deathbed - a reflection of their feelings and emotions about their drummer's life-changing accident, rounding out their debut. In April of 2025 SLEEPTALKER entered the studio with Periphery vocalist & songwriter Spencer Sotelo to work on their follow up EP.
