While She Sleeps New Single and Tour Dates

• 3rd May 2012

On May 13th – Sheffield’s finest are set to release their monstrous new single, “This Is The Six” – taken from
their highly anticipated new album of the same name, “This Is The Six” – out on Search and Destroy Records on
August 6th.

Since the release of their mini-album, ‘The North Stands For Nothing’, in the summer of 2010, While She Sleeps have been on a trailblazing path that has seen them become one of the fastest rising bands on the UK hard rock and metal circuits for some years. From a sold out headline tour, their tent-swelling set at last year’s Sonisphere festival, venues on this year’s prestigious Kerrang! tour having queues of people snaked around the block so that fans could get in to see Sleeps open the bill, critical acclaim across the pages of Kerrang! Metal Hammer and Rock Sound and regular plays on Radio 1, Scuzz and Kerrang! TV, the Sheffield natives have rapidly and justifiably become one of the highest regarded rock bands in Britain.“It feels like we’re building an army and that the people that have started following us are as much a part of this as we are,” says Mat. “We’ve felt like respect’s been building and the crowds are getting bigger and people telling us songs have helped them get through tough times reassures you why you do this and we want to take it to as many people as we can.”

Fuelled by a militant DIY punk rock ethic (the band design their own artwork and t-shirts, send their own
merch by hand and insisted that only the members of the band performed every last note on the record), while success has been forthcoming at a staggering rate in Britain, Sleeps have already got an eye on world domination.

The band will also be demolishing venues and festivals across the UK and Europe this summer. The list of dates
