Artist Biography: Sleave is a dynamic four piece whose sound brings together elements of alternative rock, punk, and American hardcore while also being reminiscent of the American grunge and emo movements of the 90's.
Formed in Richmond, VA in 2016, Sleave began after Julien Robert and Charlie Bowen met at a party, where they quickly bonded over a shared interest in punk and alternative music. A series of impromptu jam sessions at Julien’s parent’s house during the fall of 2015 quickly turned into a full project. During this time, Sam Mclelland joined the band on bass and in January of 2016, Sleave officially formed.
The band’s presence grew steadily over the next two years, in which they debuted two releases (‘Gold EP 2016’ and Better Now/Empty Talk 7” 2017) and played countless shows in and around Richmond. They then took a performing hiatus in 2018 to record what was rumoured to be their first full length album. The band worked tirelessly with the help of Pedro Aida of Audio Verite Studios and Andreas Magnusson, both of whom they had worked with on previous releases. During this time, Daniel Salinas joined on lead guitar, Seth Tony replaced Sam Mclelland on bass and the current Sleave lineup was formed.
Finally, in June 2019, Sleave announced their partnership with UK label Engineer Records and that their first album was complete.
‘Don’t Expect Anything’ will be released under Engineer Records in the Fall of 2019.

Lyrics: Check Myself
I check myself in at the door
Like I've always done before
Where nothing ever happened
But how can I be sure
Another daily chore
Another daily chore
Another daily chore
Another daily chore
I'm getting frantic
I'm so on edge
I'm like a buck in the rut and my velvet's shed
I'm feeling nauseous
I can't maintain
It's like the feeling of falling throughout my brain
And if I try
To ignore
A ritual or a thought it just bugs me more
And gets repeated
It's repeated
It's repeated
Another daily chore
Another daily chore
Another daily chore
Another daily chore
I was stable
The perfect son
Not the black sheep I am
But still culled and loved
And now I'm honest
Now I'm shunned
Like a weight on the backs of everyone
But if I try
To make a change
I end up sleeping through to the next day
Never listening
Never loud
I try to scream but just somehow stumble out
Is it over
Is it over
Will you still cry wolf when you're sober
Is it over
Is it over
Will you still cry wolf when you're sober
Is it over
Is it over
Is it over
Is it over
Is it perfect
Is it perfect
Will a black sheep cry if you hurt it
Should I bother
Should I bother
I'll drive this whole damn flock to the slaughter
No more time to consider
Is it worth it to suffer
Will I still be forgiven
If I stop and just give in
