"In a region coasting on a decade's worth of New Seattle buzz, with its fabled, mostly lost record deals and ironic hairstyles, that a four-piece with roots in small town Nova Scotia and the humble hardcore and punk scenes of the city could meld those things together and emerge as one of the most hyped acts in years - and sound nothing like Sloan [or punk/hardcore] while doing it - indicates that Halifax might finally be ready to move on."

Wintersleep began in Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada) early in 2002. They've released two albums (Labwork Music) and are part of the twelve year old music collective Dependent Music.
BAND MEMBERS:
- Paul Murphy + Jud Haynes + Loel Campbell + Tim D'eon
PRESS QUOTES:
"Ambitious and remarkably accessible. Not since Eric's Trip has a Canadian band managed to so successfully combine music that's both head-smashingly heavy and heart-achingly delicate."
FFWD, Calgary
"The band blows the pants off crowds time and time again. ... one of the most unique sounds to ever come out of the Maritimes... this band will take the country by storm."
