New album, “The Killing Of Character”, out on July 5th!
Santa Fe, New Mexico’s post-hardcore rock band iwatchyousleep is proud to present their new album “The Killing of Character. ” This album merges metal, swancore and punk and is recommended for fans of Schoolyard Heroes, Refused and Placebo.
Santa Fe, New Mexico’s own iwatchyousleep is an alt-rock project that is not afraid to get personal. Lindsay Payton is the vocalist of the band while Auston Sceirine plays the guitar, Jake Osborn is in charge of bass and Jeff Jedlowski plays drums; the music that the band produces is dark and heavy. Lindsay’s vocals fluctuate from gentle and eerie to raw screams and Auston’s emo influenced melodies give it a midwestern touch. Jake’s bass lines are punk oriented and Jeff Jedlowski’s back beats complete their unique music style.
The album is darker, faster, and more desperate than their previous work, which is probably the reason behind the title; betrayal, loss, and the human condition. According to Ernest Hemingway, one should “write hard and clear about what hurts,” and iwatchyousleep does just that.
Their first album was released in February 2023, and this album familiarized the listeners to their music. Now, with “The Killing of Character,” their music reaches new levels and proves iwatchyousleep as a band to contend with in the post-hardcore genre.
