Ahead of his band’s sophomore record release, Sleep On It guitarist and vocalist TJ Horansky stops by Inside Music to share his story.
Kanye West once wrote that the midwest is young and restless. The Chicago native probably had himself in mind when jotting that line onto paper, but it applies to Sleep On It as much as anyone. The four-piece pop-rock group has made a name for themselves in a genre plagued by knockoff bands and one-hit wonders who never have lasting careers. The band’s latest record, Pride & Disaster, is a testament to growing up and moving on. It’s the soundtrack to realizing you can be more than you ever thought possible, which is precisely the message many people need today.
TJ Horansky has been with Sleep On It from day one, and his unique outlook on life has helped shape the band’s material. Horansky appreciates where he came from and the people who helped him reach his dreams as much as he looks forward to all that life still has to offer. He’s an individual capable of living in the moment without letting the present blind him from the things that lie on the horizon, and today he shares his current perspective on existence with our loyal listeners.
On this episode of Inside Music, which is the first to debut on our official Spotify feed, Horansky tells the story behind Sleep On It’s upcoming album with host James Shotwell. He also shares the lessons learned from the group’s last record, as well as how changing trends in the industry have informed the band’s approach to promoting their latest material. You can stream the conversation below or on Spotify, YouTube, and any major podcast platform.
Pride & Disaster, Sleep On It’s second full-length record, arrives September 13 through Equal Vision Records. Pre-order a copy on vinyl while supplies last.
