It’s time to wake up, because the Michigan-based heavy metal band Sleep Waker have returned with their 2nd studio album, “Alias.” Drummer and songwriter Frankie Mish joins IUF as we close the chapter here on Season 8. Sleep Waker got their start in 2017 along with the idea of the band name serving as a constant theme throughout the lyricism. The creativity within Frankie and his bandmates never came to a standstill as the writing stages for “Alias” went through impressive segments and ideas that the members bounced off of one another. Frankie also talks about how cinematic impressions of art gave “Alias” the push it needed before rounding it out into its final form – grabbing influences from The Matrix, Blade Runner, and Ghost In The Shell to name a few. As he continues to make the music he loves, Frankie also uses his time doing graphic design and photography, which have provided him a new sense to be crafty and feed that passion into the band. Sleep Waker has been through quite the journey, but it’s as if they are just getting started with “Alias.” Tune into our episode with Frankie as we dive head first into the mind-boggling themes and artistic visions behind Sleep Waker, and be sure to buy and stream heavy-hitting new album “Alias,” due out July 23 via UNFD Records.
