This self-titled debut is something you would expect from a band on their second or even third release. Sleepaway hit it on the spot with this release that has the sounds of Waking Ashland, JamisonParker, This Day and Age written all over it.
The bands songs come off with a very emotion feeling to them, with laid back melodies, soft guitar parts, and soft vocals to go along with them. “Time, Traffic, and Weather” is my favorite track on the album as it mixes a nice guitar beat with those catchy guitars I usually fall for.
This is a great album to add to your easy listening pile that may also include This Day & Age, JamisonParker and even Jimmy Eat World. A great debut that shows a lot of potential for the band in the future.
