Call 'em melodic rock or post-hardcore, The Sleeping have hit their stride with their third album. Give 'em a shot. Their new album "What it Takes" is available everywhere.

*From Brooklyn, NY hails the experimental, jazz metal, hard rockin' sideproject SPYLACOPA. Not for the feint of heart, SPYLACOPA explores a myriad of musical avenues in order to satisfy founder and brainchild for the project John LaMacchia's quest for musical utopia. Ranging from crooning vocals and bloodcurdling screams to electronic metal noise and distorted power riffs, SPYLACOPA's debut ep is a practically perfect example of one's desire to experiment out loud.
