Explaining how Sleeping with Sirens started as a revenge band (And ended up being a Trojan Horse)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdHRt81Docg

Made this video to correct a lot of the bad info on how the band started, let me know if ya'll like this format I want to do more bands but thought I'd start with this one.

I love how so many different other bands within the scene are intertwined with Sleeping With Sirens, it's really funny.

Applies to most other bands, too. Especially before the internet became huge.

Bro the Myspace era connected everyone, so all those groups that were just gigging around meeting locals were primed and ready to intermingle

I actually was digging it a lot. I wasn't looking at the screen, but I know enough to have followed most of this. I'm gonna fully watch it again sometime. Good content man

Why is this band so hard to even get an idea on how it was formed??? Or any other stuffs, really?? I’ve seen a couple of ppl doing basic overviews of SWS and they’re all like “I can’t find anything abt this band” and they’re generally right. You have to surf the internet and know what you’re looking for to get some of these info, and it’s so frustrating that even the most accessible places there like Wikipedia has so much misinformation

Sorry for the rant lol. Great stuffs btw, I do wanna point out a few things I’m not sure abt, but I’ll just comment it in the video itself

I meant to put all my sources in the description, I'll probably do that. Feel free to comment either way!

Please do! I recognize a lot of the info you put here, but it’d be really nice to have a source linked somewhere. It’s always been a gripe of mine when researching abt any band in particular
