Lowell based alternative band, Neversleep, released their first EP today, Dead Ends and Thin Ice. This self managed band came into fruition when David Kisiel (Vocals/Guitar) and Devin Congdon (Drums) recorded a song in Devin’s basement Winter ’13. They then recruited Chaz Morse (Bass) and Dillon Bailey (Guitar/Vocals) in Spring ’14. Dillon recorded Dead Ends and Thin Ice with the band but shortly after the band parted ways with him, and has introduced Chris Power as the new lead guitarist.They are currently working on writing their next EP. Take a listen to the EP here:
Here’s what Neversleep has to say about Dead Ends and Thin Ice:
These songs are about the daily struggle. We walked into college all from different situations back home, hoping to make something of ourselves from the clean slate we were handed. Parents, family, teachers; they all tell you these are the best years of your life and that you should enjoy your youth while you still have it because it only gets harder from here. They’re right, but that doesn’t mean things are easy now.
We wrote these songs from places inside us that weren’t always the brightest; about things that didn’t seem to have a silver lining. We wrote about things that bummed us out and made us feel like we were going nowhere. In the end, we ended up with something we were proud of, and maybe that’s the silver lining.
We hope whoever listens to these songs can relate to the situations we’ve experienced and find some solace in knowing you aren’t alone in your endeavors. You’ll walk out a little bruised, but you’ll still be standing. And that’s what matters.
