Also, To not ignore someone if you sense that they’re struggling and honestly just try and love one another. Chester Bennington affected me in a big way, I deal with depression and anxiety and I think it’s massively important that we talk about these issues in America more openly and give people a chance to talk with someone.How did these deaths affect you and how does SWS create more awareness for suicide awareness?
Suicide has made a huge impact on the music industry recently with the deaths of Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. I’ve always wanted to work with a children’s choir, So we looked around Cleveland and found the Singing Angels!! They crushed it! btw, I had an amazing time performing with them at the APMAS.You have performed “ Legends” on the #APMAS, with the Singing Angels choir, what made this collab come about? It’s important for us to stay positive and to find meaning. Yeah, I think it’s important to always seek the light at the end of the tunnel.What is the overall message on this album, as “ Legends” seems to be a very positive and inspiring vibe to it. I wanted the art to reflect the sound, the sound is a bit vintage in a way and I love the way it turned out.The album art for GOSSIP is very different, what inspired the album art? “One man army” is a song about fighting, even when it feels like you have no fight left in you, even if you feel like it’s you against the world, you have to keep fighting! Sometimes I feel we can get to a point where we ask ourselves (how did I get here?) and how do I find my way out. “Trouble” and “One Man Army” would hold the most meaning to me, as “Trouble” is a song about losing yourself in the chaos that is life.Out of the 11 tracks on the new album GOSSIP, which 2 hold the most meaning to you and what are they about? we’re honored and couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity! “We feel very legendary” that was a dad joke. How did that come about for the band and how does it feel to have such a large organization reach out to use your music? You released the debut single “ Legends” from GOSSIP back on July 13th, which is now TEAM USA’s Theme Song in the Olympics. I think that this album is special because we all sat in a room and made the decision to not worry about outside opinions and to just write the album that we wanted without the fear of what anyone may think of it! There’s something super freeing about that.I figured this was going to be an album people would talk about, so the name Gossip just made sense for it.Ĭould you detail the overall writing, recording and production process of this new record coming out and how it differs from previous releases?.Where did the title for this record come about, why the name GOSSIP? Let’s start off by chatting about the new music Sleeping With Sirens has coming out on September 22nd via Warner Brothers Records.
Hey Kellin, thanks for taking the time to sit down and chat with us today. We had the opportunity to catch up with Sleeping with Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn recently where we chatted briefly about the forthcoming album, upcoming tour, and his most meaningful songs on the record. Sleeping with Sirens will be busy this fall/winter playing various festivals, releasing their new album Gossip on September 22nd, and touring on a very intimate tour in support of their album release. Gossip will be the followup album to their fourth studio album MADNESS which was released back in 2015 (via Epitaph Records).
Sleeping With Sirens are just over a month away from releasing their forthcoming fifth full-length album, Gossip (via Warner Bros) which already has two rock anthem singles released “ Empire To Ashes” and “ Legends” which will be used as Team USA’s official anthem (theme song) for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, which is quite the honor.
