Sacramento-based alt hard rock band SOLELY VEIL have today released their new EP, REVERIE, via The Artery Foundation. It is the band's debut release.
Listen to the five-track EP here.
"REVERIE captures the feeling of being stuck between reality and the thoughts that keep you up at night," says the band's vocalist Allen Wheeler. about the EP as a whole. "Each song is a different part of that struggle. It's honest, uncomfortable, and exactly where we were when we wrote it."
Regarding the song "Static," Wheeler offers, "It's about the experience of being trapped in a dream-like state where the boundaries between reality and illusion collapse, as a malevolent entity seeks to assert control, leaving you unable to distinguish what is real from what is not." Listen below.
It's a heavy concept but it's one worth ruminating on via the song!
Sleep Theory Announce Debut Album + Share "Static" Video
Breakout four-piece Sleep Theory — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — were one of the biggest success stories of both 2023 and 2024. The band dominated the radio airwaves and charts; were one of the most buzzed about bands on the festival circuit; won over fans at every show they played; and turns heads at press, with everyone from Revolver to Loudwire to Alternative Press to Forbes to Ones to Watch unable to deny the band's DNA-distinct blend of hard rock.
Today, Sleep Theory storm headlong into 2025 by announcing their eagerly awaited debut album, Afterglow, which arrives on May 16 via Epitaph Records.
The album, which offers a stunning display of diverse rock flavors, was produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects).

Sleep Theory are also thrilled to share the video for the new single "Static," which serves as the album's opener. It starts with a ferocious roar before launching into their signature dynamic, heavy bounce and massive vocal hooks.
Watch the video Below:
Sleep Theory combine energetic hard rock and metalcore, alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cullen Moore. Praised by Jelly Roll and David Draiman, they've toured with Shinedown, Falling In Reverse, and Beartooth. In under two years, they became the fifth most-played artist on Active Rock radio. Afterglow and the Paper Hearts EP merge heavy rock with pop and R&B, producing anthemic bangers and emotional ballads. Saluted by Revolver, Loudwire, and Amazon Music as an Artist to Watch in 2025, they've become one of heavy music's biggest breakouts.
With Afterglow, the quartet proves ready to ascend to the next level.
