excerpt from an email I wrote at 1 a.m. this morning after hearing Sleep Nation's music for the first time - (two hours later - still listening- constant replay of their tracks - good stuff !) Rockin the Night & Day Farm + Imaginarium
"...I'm a stickler for solid lyrics -- goes with my comments about "good story" or "polishing a turd" ? (I stole that line from my favorite bass player & mr duck tape- Kenny Ames / Jason & The Scorchers ++) -- STORY must WORK -- instrumentals are the 2nd & equal half of the whole story -- I do not want to hear predictable beats - predictable guitar licks or drum - and if production is lame -- aka " predictable" -- I'm gone. These guys do a solid blend of classic Alt Rock Reminiscent of Jason & The Scorchers (it's the energy bursts - vocally & instrumentally!) -- smashed up against 90's Alt Rock - Punk Rock roots -- I hear just enough of a blend here that Sleep Nation succeeds in being their OWN sound -- a balance that is supremely difficult to achieve ! "~ Gigi de Lugo

SLEEP NATION (Fan Review on Gig Salad)
Rocking performance!!
I was at the
fair tonight and happened to overhear some rock music and I told my
girlfriend, "let's go over there!". This is a spectacular band! I am now
looking up about them since I got back from the fair tonight. They were
great and worth seeing! I would recommend them to all my friends!reviewer: Dwight H.
