Eric Sleeper is Pissed

Eric Sleeper

Morris County’s Eric Sleeper sounds righteously pissed-off on his new single “What They Say.” Call it grunge. Call it post-punk. Call it instant-classic-rock. However you define it, the song’s buzzsaw guitars bring his point home with alarming accuracy. Last year, he was losing his mind. This year, his use of profanity might keep him off the radio but the dude’s real. He’s honest. And he rocks like a bitch.  "The song is about finding meaning in the never-ending media, greed, and news cycle,” he explains, “which is often hypnotizing and debilitating, taking you away from your true meaning and purpose. It’s important to be able to formulate your own identity and push through the continuous poisonous static. It’s also meant as a hype-up and confidence booster to those deemed weird or different."
