Sleeping With Sirens cancel October U.S. headline tour
Due to vocalist Kellin Quinn’s wife needing surgery, Sleeping With Sirens have had to cancel this month’s DON’T LET THE PARTY DIE TOUR.
Sleeping With Sirens have unleashed a brand-new single, Bloody Knuckles.
Kellin Quinn has been busy lately: after working with Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker on love race and launching a new kids' band with Ryan Key, the vocalist is back to screaming his guts out with Sleeping With Sirens.
The Orlando gang have just shared a pretty damn angry sounding new single, Bloody Knuckles, which hears the frontman adding in much heavier vocals alongside his more anthemic ones, with a killer breakdown thrown in for good measure.

Speaking to Kerrang! in 2019 about going heavy again on most recent album How It Feels To Be Lost (and hopefully going forwards now, too), Kellin explained, "I feel like fans are ready for this from our band – it’s time for the heavier, darker side of Sleeping With Sirens. We listened to what the fans wanted, and that’s what we’re giving them. We’ve done being heavy in a smart way on How It Feels To Be Lost, and I felt it was important that we didn’t totally go back to our roots with it. Our early sound is in there, sure, but this is a new Sirens – it’s not like this is a throwback to [2010 debut album] With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear."

And check out the lyrics:
You always said I’d be a disappointment 
That I’d be nothing and I’d probably lose it all 
You thought that I would trip and fall 
But you’ll never see me beg or crawl 
Can’t take it 
Won’t fake it 
Punch a hole through the wall 
Try to break it 
Can’t change it 
Rearrange it 
So I guess that I’ll just have to face it 
This is bloody knuckles and I’ll show you how to play 
It’s the only way to escape from all the pain
(Chorus) 
We bought a one way ticket cuz we’re sick of it all
Pack your bags we’re going 
At the bottom but we got no reason to lay low 
Like you care anyway (no) 
Here take one last breath 
Take all you can 
Til there’s nothing left 
(we’ll never do what you say no)
Until we drop dead (never let go) 
Another day another disappointment 
My head is trippin might as well just slip away 
You all think I’m crazy anyway (you all think I’m crazy)
Won’t give in 
Never fit in (it’s a knife in the back that you twist in)
You dig in 
Don’t pretend (I’m already down but you keep on pushing) 
Life is a fight 
But you don’t ever fight fair 
Beat us to the ground 
But we will never stay there
I won’t give in I never fit in I won’t give in 
Never fit in 
It’s a knife in the back that you twist in 
This is bloody knuckles I’ll show you how to play 
It’s the only way to escape from all the pain
