Wintersleep are from Nova Scotia on Canada's Eastern sea-board but they don't spend much time there. The release of their current album, 'New Inheritors' has ensured they've been on the road for most of the last couple of years, playing over 250 shows worldwide. Headline tours across North America, Europe and beyond coupled with shows alongside White Lies, Besnard Lakes, Editors, Maccabees and most recently The Hold Steady have kept them far from home.
Their live skills honed to perfection, Wintersleep return to the UK for a 12-date tour in February 2011 as Special Guests to The Hold Steady, this is a taste of what you can expect:
THE FLY - Wintersleep are on blistering live form, somehow even improving on album of the year contender 'New Inheritors'
THE WORD - New Inheritors hits you like a freight train on its way to REM via Secret Machines.. it sounds heavy, important and rather exciting.
ARTROCKER 4 STARS - with just enough chops, heart, pop sensibility and rock and roll in equal measure, it's little wonder people are falling over themselves to heap praise on these Canadian alt-rockers
INDEPENDENT - Wintersleep play with the clipped excitement of early REM, outshining Saturday's headliners Yo La Tengo
NME - a glorious, crashing sound, pulsing outwards, destroying and caressing all it finds. Wintersleep are coming out of hibernation, wide awake and blinking
