I didn’t know if I even had it in me to write another record or get on stage and perform. Being on the road and touring as much as we did for Gossip was really hard on me. I didn’t know how to turn it around or what to do. For the last few years, I was struggling with alcoholism, depression, and anxiety. “I wasn’t being the leader I had always been. Reaching a fork in the road, the future of the band hung in the balance. In the midst of the tour cycle for Gossip, Kellin found himself at rock bottom under a haze of depression and alcoholism. However, everything came to a head during 2017. Additionally, they collaborated with MGK on “Alone” and Pierce the Veil on the gold-certified “King For A Day.” Beyond selling out shows worldwide and receiving acclaim from The New York Times, Alternative Press crowned them “Artist of the Year” at the Alternative Press Music Awards, proclaimed “Kick Me” the 2015 “Song of the Year”, and featured them as cover stars a whopping seven times. This high-wire balancing act attracted a faithful fan base known as “Strays, ” generated global album sales in excess of 1.5 million, ignited over half-a-billion streams, and achieved a trio of gold-selling singles: “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hepburn,” “If You Can’t Hang,” and “Scene Two-Roger Rabbit.” They launched two albums- Feel and Madness-into the Top 15 of the Billboard Top 200. Since emerging in 2010, Sleeping With Sirens have tested the boundaries of rock by walking a tightrope between pop, punk, metal, hardcore, electronic, acoustic, and even a little R&B.
