For All Those Sleeping ( Minnesota, USA)

Recently signed to Fearless Records, Minnesota post-hardcore boys For All Those Sleeping can best be summed up by the plethora of screamo-metal bands they’ve shared road trips with. From A Skylit Drive to Asking Alexandria, their touring list reads like a Who’s Who of modern screamo. It also goes a good way to finding a starting point to describe their stabbing electro-metal which veers for delicious pop-melodies to gruff, hard-hitting metalcore. Intertwined throughout the sound of their current album, Cross Your Fingers, is that electro-pop jangling that either irritates you or has you bouncing off your walls. Either way, there is no denying that songs like Never Leave Northfield are so full of energy, you’ll surely leave their live show with no need for anything to perk you up.
