Seconds Before Sleep

"In order to fall asleep, one must drift far enough away from reality to allow another level of consciousness to take over. So in essence there are these moments that we could search for endlessly, but never find." -Seconds Before Sleep

Sitting down and listening to the members of SBS talk about their new musical project, one can sense that expectations for the future are vast. "We haven't gained enough respect or notoriety to be titled visionaries or anything like that, but we definitely know what we want from the music. We want it to be a place where our listeners can always go for honesty and substance. We want to continue growing within ourselves and our sound. And ultimately, to savor every step that leads toward success."

Despite the fact that its members come from a wide array of backgrounds and musical tastes, SBS is united by a common work ethic. "We choose to focus on the things that we can control, and that is our ability to work hard while staying grounded. But make no mistake, everything is a labor of love. Its hard dislike a musical world that offers new and exciting opportunities on an everyday basis."

Collectively, the group has played such venues as The Excel Energy Center, The Taste of Minnesota Mainstage, The Varsity Theater, and The Mississippi Music Fest. They have also shared the stage with national acts Soul Asylum, Eric Hutchinson, Tyler Hilton, and Quietdrive. "Music has been good to us thus far, but in no way are we satisfied by what we've accomplished. We always want to continue reaching for the highest branches, until we can one day see the view."
