Sleep Theory announce debut album and share ‘Static’ video

Breakout four-piece Sleep Theory — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — were one of the biggest success stories of both 2023 and 2024. The band dominated the radio airwaves and charts; were one of the most buzzed about bands on the festival circuit; won over fans at every show they played; and turns heads at press, with everyone from Revolver to Loudwire to Alternative Press to Forbes to Ones to Watch unable to deny the band’s DNA-distinct blend of hard rock. 

Sleep Theory storm headlong into 2025 by announcing their eagerly awaited debut album, Afterglow, which arrives on May 16 via Epitaph Records. 

The album, which offers a stunning display of diverse rock flavors, was produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects).

Sleep Theory are also thrilled to share the video for the new single “Static,” which serves as the album’s opener. It starts with a ferocious roar before launching into their signature dynamic, heavy bounce and massive vocal hooks.

Watch the video here.

Sleep Theory combine energetic hard rock and metalcore, alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cullen Moore. Praised by Jelly Roll and David Draiman, they’ve toured with Shinedown, Falling In Reverse, and Beartooth. In under two years, they became the fifth most-played artist on Active Rock radio. Afterglow and the Paper Hearts EP merge heavy rock with pop and R&B, producing anthemic bangers and emotional ballads. Saluted by Revolver, Loudwire, and Amazon Music as an Artist to Watch in 2025, they’ve become one of heavy music’s biggest breakouts.

With Afterglow, the quartet proves ready to ascend to the next level.
