History
Sleepers' Reign was founded in 2010 by childhood friends Lukas Hermans, Ruben Mertens, Orson Wouters and Jasper Verdonck. They started out producing their first demo's in their bedroom studio.[1] In 2012 they played their first live shows competing in Humo's Rock Rally, a biennial music contest, in which they finished second and won the audience prize.[2] The following year, the band released their first single Four Dots, together with a cover of Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, whereupon they opened for Daniel Johnston and played Oppikoppi festival in Limpopo, South Africa.[3][4][5]
From 2014 to 2016, the band supported John Parish and How to Dress Well in Belgium[6][7] and played at CMJ Music Marathon in New York City.[8]
On 4 March 2016 Sleepers' Reign released their debut album King Into Delight (recorded and mixed by Justin Gerrish),[9] along with an interactive mobile app that allows fans to listen to the album, read the lyrics and customize the album artwork.[10] After their release concert in the Ancienne Belgique, the band showcased their album at SXSW, Austin, Texas,[11] opened for Manic Street Preachers in Belgium and The Netherlands, and played Pukkelpop festival.[12][13]
