If you label us then everything changes. Opinions are formed not from a live show or a song but from a label thats not us at all. Blending many styles of music that can always be associated with but never directly related to past and present bands, Silver Screen Sleeper has become one of those bands that wants to leave its mark on you as being as honest and passionate as possible. Without the gimmicks of a look or a single idea, all we carry is our music. The assumptions people have of us no longer matter. We're not going to try and write an eloquent bio, but rather to give you an invitation to see what four individuals are when we step onto a stage. Through many line up changes in the past year and a half, this is most definately our strongest group to date. We are ready to continue what we started last year and are more than excited for what is to come. If you enjoy us then tell us, if you hate us then please make that assumption after a show. We can take the heat. Energetic and optimistic, we're ready to play shows again. So come check us out after the new year. We'll be ready. This page was also made to show people all our bsides.......because with this much bandwidth + an insane amount of boredom, what else am i going to do?
