Catch the Fever


If you haven’t yet heard of this band, you will soon.  Sleeperstar is a Dallas band that is quickly moving up in the world.  Recently they had one of their songs played on the popular teen TV show, Vampire Diaries, resulting in their music going viral through Europe.  As entertainers go, they are young, energetic, and they are learning new tricks as they go.

As creative minds, they push the music as far as they can in order to achieve a rich and unique sound for their listeners.  Although they sometimes get caught up in some of the same neat tricks, they present a musical blend between Switchfoot, Cold Play and a bit of U2.  The lead singer, Chris Pearson, has a powerful voice, and the three vocals behind compliment him very well.  They have a groovy stage presence that makes you feel like they’ve been rockin’ for a long time.  Really, they have only been around for just 4 years now.

Check them out on Facebook, or on their website.  Better yet download some of their music on iTunes.  For some really good listening I would start with the upbeat and energetic sound of their song Disengage.  It’s like candy for your ears. Follow that up with the acoustic sounds of Texas Rain, and you will have a good vibe for their musical range.  These are some of their older songs, but their new music is worth the listen as well.

It was a blast seeing them at the House of Blues for the second time last night, and I can’t wait to see them again.
