Single Of The Day - "Sleepless" by The Room

The Room are an alternative rock band from Liverpool, whose music goes back to the basics of post-punk and adds an astute layer of wry observations. Think Michael Head, Echo and The Bunnymen, Richard Hawley, The Fall, Blue Orchids, and you get the idea what they are about. Original, quirky and quietly rambunctious, The Room opens the many doors of new-wave, and takes you down the wonky corridors of neo-psychedelia, whilst reflecting from the shadows. Taken from The Room’s current album, “Restless Fate“, “Sleepless” has been selected as The Manc Review’s “Single of The Day”.

Sleepless awakens from the slumbers of new wave and jangles from the idiosyncratic chambers of post-punk. Through the murky riffs, vocal delivery and robust beats, Sleepless steps inside the classic archives of alternative rock, that revives the riotous anarchy from a golden age.

A captivating track, Sleepless unravels a cathartic commentary that tilts towards spoken word and immediately connects on a multitude of levels. What could be a lost Postcard Records track, wouldn’t sound out of place aside Aztec Camera, Orange Juice, whilst putting the world to right with Mark E Smith from The Fall.

The Restless Fate album is out now, available digitally across fine music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon. It can also be obtained on CD and as a vinyl record via Liverpool-based 9×9 Records.
