Good Future Club

My dudes in Sleep On It released their 2nd single called "Window" off their debut LP today. It's been a hell of a journey with them! A few years back, well before we worked together, they reached out asking for advice. This happens fairly often with local bands and I always try to respond based on what I know of the band, etc. Most bands do nothing with that advice. Sleep On It was very different. They took it to heart and literally worked super hard and continued to grow. I constantly heard the name around the Chicago scene. Fast forward a few years, my buddy Zech, who was singing for a band I liked called Bonfires, called me and said he had left Bonfires. A day or two prior, Sleep On It had told me they parted ways with their singer. I'm not sure if there's a more serendipitous situation that's ever been so obvious in such a short time frame. I immediately brought it up since they were all friendly. They started sending me songs of their first hangs/practices/etc and within 2 songs you could tell it was on. I moved as quickly as I could to bring them into Equal Vision. We got to work on the EP and the band hit the road regularly. Then when it became LP demoing time, they locked themselves down to really dig in. I watched a young band really put everything they had into songs. Pouring over such minor details but it showed how much they cared about every part of everything they were doing. With this song in particular, they wanted to cut it from the record and not record it. I said something along the lines of "You would literally be so stupid if you cut this song." They didn't love me for that because they had other songs they thought were better. Thankfully, they trusted my reaction to that song. Days after they recorded it, they told me how stoked they were on it. It was a great moment of realizing to step outside of the bubble most bands create because you're way too close to some of the songs. I've watched a lot of small bands in Chicago become very big bands. Their similar qualities of work ethic, passion, generosity, and a huge appreciation of fans is something I watched in Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is in their early days in Chicago. Proud to be a footnote in the bands story and can't wait to watch the world to continue to fall in love with Sleep On It. Good on you boys.
