Armor For Sleep

Armor For Sleep is an American rock band recognized for their blend of alternative rock, atmospheric emo, and dream pop, creating a distinct sound that led to multiple album releases and extensive touring. After gaining early recognition through demo distribution, Armor For Sleep, formed in 2001, quickly established a distinctive sound blending alternative rock, atmospheric emo, and dream pop, leading to a pivotal signing with independent label Equal Vision Records. Under this partnership, the band released their concept-based debut album, ‘Dream to Make Believe’ in 2003, defining their signature style. They followed this success with their critically acclaimed second album, ‘What to Do When You Are Dead,’ in 2005, further cementing their unique identity.

In 2006, Armor For Sleep advanced their career by signing with major labels Sire Records and Warner Bros., resulting in their third studio album, ‘Smile for Them,’ in 2007, a period of creative exploration. Following an extended hiatus, the band announced its disbandment in October 2009. However, their enduring appeal prompted a reunion for the 2012 Bamboozle Festival and a 2015 tour commemorating the 10th anniversary of ‘What to Do When You Are Dead.’ The band officially reunited in 2020, with a current lineup featuring original members Ben Jorgensen (vocals, guitar, songwriter) and Nash Breen (drums), alongside Erik Rudic on lead guitar and Chad Sabo on bass. Their official return culminated in the September 2022 release of their fourth studio album, ‘The Rain Museum.’ Armor For Sleep has since maintained a consistent touring schedule, including co-headlining events and anniversary tours for their celebrated albums.

Armor For Sleep remains a compelling and active force in alternative rock, consistently delivering new material and engaging their global fanbase through extensive touring.
