First let us introduce ourselves, We are SLEEZE from Rockford ILL. The current lineup consists of Isaac Hare on Lead Vocals, Micah Watz on Lead Guitar, Bruce Eklove on Bass Guitar, and last but not least, Josh Huston on Drums and Percussion. However this is not the original lineup. In the past year the members in this lineup accomplished more than any previous ones, including getting singed to a two year recording contract through Criminal Record, constantly writing fresh material, and finally getting our foot in the door of the music industry. And now we are trying to expand our connections within the market by promoting ourselves to record labels, producers, booking agencies, management companies, websites, and magazines; increasing our general knowledge of being successful band in our day and age.
The steps we have taken to get to this point in our careers have been enjoyable and arduous simultaneously, over the last four years. The band went through many lineup changes over the first 3 years, and now has formed a balanced democracy between the 4 musicians. Isaac, being the only original member. During this time SLEEZE started carving its name into the Rockford underground music scene, with our evolving sound and image. Within the last year we have sent out thousands of emails promoting our music around the world, and as a result we have been hosted on several radio stations around the world in countries such as Norway, Australia, and multiple cities within the United States. And many shows of course.
Currently we are busy with preproduction for our upcoming full length album entitled “SLEEZE”. We are thankful for the opportunity to make great quality music for the world to enjoy and will be working extremely hard to record this album to the best of our abilities with the resources we have been given. We are also working on even more material, even though we have more than enough songs for both records. We are working on expanding our stock of available merchandise, including t-shirts,hoodies, hats, thongs, buttons, exc.. hopefully vinyl copies of the album.
Our plans within the next couple years include an American Tour, writing better and more thought out material, and acquiring bigger and better connections within our reach. Were looking to expand beyond free social media websites and build a professional webpage that would in turn build our fan base, and increase our profit margin. But most of all we want to get better quality and more reliable equipment to improve our performing abilities, and not just musical gear, but also props to increase the theatrics of our overall live shows.
So with this information we hope to strike an interest within you, the reader, of this explanation of what SLEEZE actually is, and what it has the undeniable potential to become. But you just got to hear it.
