Sleeping With Sirens are back with “An Ending In Itself,” a new single produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Circa Survive, Movements) and their first release with Rise Records since ‘Feel,’ which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The track is driven by unrelenting angst and enormous melodies, and it hits with the kind of emotional directness that has kept this band relevant for fifteen years.
Frontman Kellin Quinn wrote the song as a direct response to the pressure of performing wellness in an era that rarely makes room for honesty. “This song is a love letter to anyone in the midst of struggle,” Quinn shares. “I think it’s important to have open dialogue and to ask for help when we need it. This song is about being brave enough to admit that we’re not always okay. No matter what you’re going through, there is hope.” That message lands with weight, and the music backs it up completely.
The band, Quinn on vocals, Nick Martin and newest member Tony Pizzuti on guitars, Justin Hills on bass, and Matty Best on drums, has built one of the more durable catalogs in modern alternative rock. Seven studio albums, thousands of shows, and a fanbase that keeps growing. Earlier Rise releases include ‘With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear’ and gold-certified ‘Let’s Cheers to This,’ which produced the platinum single “If You Can’t Hang.”
Fifteen years in, Sleeping With Sirens are finding new audiences while holding the ones they earned. “An Ending In Itself” is the kind of single that reminds you exactly why. The band hits the festival circuit this year with appearances at Welcome to Rockville, Warped Tour (DC, Long Beach, and Orlando), Inkcarceration, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock.
