Ocean Sleeper have wasted no time in their relatively short spanning career. Since their humble founding in regional Victoria, they’ve managed to sell out their own headlining shows, tour alongside some of heavy music’s finest, record an album with renowned producer Kris Crummett (Sleeping With Sirens, Dance Gavin Dance, Issues) and have managed to score festival bills on Unify 2017 + 2019.

Since their inception in 2016 Ocean Sleeper have hastily made their mark on the Australian Heavy Music landscape. Within the first 6 months they had already been selected to play prestigious alternate music festival Unify, thanks to an overwhelming amount of online support. A daunting task for any band, let alone one with only 1 song out.
It wasn’t until the day of Unify 2017 that they dropped their debut EP, hitting a spectacular #11 in the overall Itunes charts and maintained the #1 Metal chart position for 3 weeks afterwards.
From there the band continued to plant SOLD OUT stickers across their shows, selling out their first headliner at Melbourne’s The Workers Club in four weeks and then months later the Northcote Social Club for their Single Launch. It wasn’t long before Ocean Sleeper became hot property on the support artist market, swiftly landing supports for Stray From The Path, Counterparts, Deez Nuts and a national Dream On Dreamer tour to name a few.

Despite spending 2017/2018 playing on the country’s best heavy music stages, the band continued honing their song writing and preparing material for a debut record. Flying to the USA and hunkering down in Portland Oregon with Kris Crummett, the band started pulling together their debut record for release in 2019. With so much under their belt already, Ocean Sleeper are keenly finalizing their debut LP and with sold out shows with Killswitch Engage scheduled for the end of 2018 and Unify in 2019, Ocean Sleeper may be well established, but these sons of Gippsland are going to be giving a whole lot more in 2019. They released their debut album "Don't Leave Me This Way" on November 8th, 2019. Read more on Last.fm.
