If Jerry Lee Lewis had married Appetite For Destruction instead of his cousin, his kids would've been The Sleepers. Whether it is stranger to marry an album than a cousin is debatable, but the fact that The Sleepers play some lowdown, dirty, rock n roll is not. Coming from Chicago with one foot in the blues and the other kicking the ass of bands that forgot what rock music is, they have created a sound that is at once both familiar and unique. Combining the fire of the MC5 and Clash, the swagger of The Faces and Stones, and the atomic energy of The Stooges and AC/DC, The Sleepers sound is hard to ignore and impossible to forget. The thunderous backbone of John Fields (drums) and Chris Cormier (bass) lays a foundation for Kevin Bannon's driving riffs and pounding rhythms. Tony Manno's nasty licks cut through the rhythms, recalling the days when guitarists were gods, and remind anybody in earshot that gods still walk among us. And above it all, Tom Richied's gritty vocals drive the dirty sound of this band right into the mind of anybody lucky enough to experience it.
