Sleeping With Sirens Confirm Acoustic Album



If you're looking for something a little more relaxing than their usual work, Sleeping For Sirens have just the thing; they have an acoustic album on the way.

Live and Unplugged will be an intimate acoustic album that was recorded during the band's 2015 summer tour. It will feature songs from their latest album Madness, as well as some old favourites and covers. The band have confirmed the release date of April 8th and will be released via Epitaph. Check out the artwork and tracklist below.

This will actually be their second acoustic record as they released If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack back in 2012. Live and Unplugged is live recordings though, so if you've never seen the band live then you can still pretend to be a part of the crowd.

Speaking to Kerrang! about the album, frontman Kellin Quinn says: “Our live dynamic is very different (in a good way) compared to our studio sound. We wanted to give our fans a live experience that they could relive at home over and over! Very proud of this album.

You can watch the video for Gold below.
