10 Year Anniversary of Sleeping With Sirens debut album, With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear!
Let’s take a trip down memory lane to one of the biggest albums to hit the music scene way back in 2010 back when Sleeping With Sirens released their debut album, With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear. Which also came out one of the best love songs to drop into the music scene, If I’m James Dean Then You’re Audrey Hepburn.
You probably remember when this video first came out from Rise Records youtube channel which already the likes of huge bands under their belts such as Of Mice & Men, Miss May I, Attack Attack!, Dance Gavin Dance, and many more! They had brought with them many great bands on their rooster which was already starting to build them a great reputation of signing the next big bands which everyone would come to love. One of these bands 10 years ago was Sleeping With Sirens.
Sleeping With Sirens dropped their first debut album of With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear back on March 23, 2010. The album had met with mixed reviews by many different music news outlets from the likes of Alternative Press quoting “a nonstop assault of mainstream influences into an emo/metalcore sound that, ultimately, sounds best dirty and raw–not this trite, juvenile, wimpy ear-candy.” Which was understandable at the time since they came when Post-Hardcore, and Metalcore were more heavily had unclean vocals with small bits of cleans vocals here and there.
Despite many people saying they had a whiny sound or many people thought that Kellin Quinn’s vocals were actually those of a girl (which I bet everybody has heard once in their life.), the album had a lot of good songs such as the self-titled track, and as well as The Left Side of Everywhere.
Crazy to think though that the album has now been out for ten years now since the initial release. Which has had reimagined version of songs from their debut album such as ‘If I’m James Dean Then You’re Audrey Hepburn” and their self-titled, “With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear.” The band has gone to release 6 LPs, and which one getting stronger with each entry such as “How It Feels To Be Lost”
