While She Sleeps

Saturday, May 18 @ 2:25pm | Echo Stage

While She Sleeps have chosen a fitting way to celebrate their tenth anniversary as a band – by becoming totally independent. It's a bold, impressive and powerful move that both reflects the decade gone by and hints at what the future has to offer. More than that, it demonstrates that age-old cliché is still true today – if you want something done right, do it yourself. Not only did they self fund their new album 'You Are We' with the help of their fans through a PledgeMusic campaign, but the band converted an empty warehouse in the heart of their native Sheffield into their own multi-purpose studio. It's not the first time the band have had their own space – 2010's debut EP 'The North Stands For Nothing' was recorded at a home studio called The Barn – but with this new space, which was built with the band's own money, they've taken things to the next level.
