Slumber is a band based in East London. Alex (also known as Standish – vocals), Luke Whorriskey (guitar), Isabella Eggen (synths), Bailey Heslop (guitars), Pip Russon (bass), and Sam Meredith (drums) met after attending gigs and realised their shared sense of isolation and unique optimism could lead to better things.

Let’s see what they have been up to:
Days Like These
What Wunderhorse started, Slumber look set to catapult further. Graceful pop instincts, chaotic dirge-ridden guitars and teenage angst lyrics catch fire on this divine outsider anthem.
1993
Whorriskey, Heslop, and Egan serve up distorted guitars and warped keys, allowing Alex’s Tony Wright-esque (Terrorvision) vocal to give them their most radio-friendly single to date.
Julian Casablancas (I Wanna Rock a Pair Like)
A joyous ode to a time when bands rocked skinny jeans and converse with a fag in one hand and a red strip in the other!
Their lo-fi garage-cum-indie rock has the carefree abandon that can only come from youth and tight friendships. Loose, knowing, and freeing, they seem to be on to a sure thing!
