Sleep On It
Pride & Disaster
The second full-length album from Chicagobased, pop-punk outfit SLEEP ON IT, Pride & Disaster is the follow-up to 2017s Overexposed, and features additional production by Kyle Black (STATE CHAMPS, PIERCE THE VEIL, ALL TIME LOW). With Pride & Disaster, SLEEP ON IT harnesses the strength and vulnerability of the human spirit. Over the course of ten songs, they makes a case for enjoying life, even when times are tough, and never shying away from your truth. "One of the big things we focused on when making this record was not only writing sad songs," Pluister says. "Going along with the theme of growth, we wanted to show that there is more to life than just being sad. As hard as life is, there are still good days, and we really wanted that thought to be present in this record. It doesnt seem fair to us to only portray the hard times." The positivity found throughout Pride & Disaster adds a silver lining to an album that is also unafraid to address the problems that many, including the band, face with mental health. "Were trying to be better every day," says guitarist TJ Horansky. "And thats what a lot of our songs are about. We want to be better people. We want to improve ourselves, and we want to help the people around us improve as well."
