City Sleeps

City Sleeps is an alternative rock band from from Atlanta, GA. The band started by touring nationally in an attempt to build interest in themselves. City Sleeps was contacted by the multi-platinum producer John Feldmann, asking to work with them. Before securing a label, the band flew to L.A. to work on a New album, 'Not An Angel.' Speaking on the result, Feldmann readily admits that ‘Not An Angel’ is his finest work to date. Sharp comments on their work with Feldmann saying “He pushed all of us to the brink of exhaustion and brought out things in us that we didn’t think were there. That is the mark of a great producer.”

With a top rate full-length completed, the band next cut a video for the song ‘Prototype’ with Nathan Cox and Zach Merck who have directed videos for HIM, Queens Of The Stone Age and Marilyn Manson. With one piece of the puzzle missing, the band returned to the road when they were contacted shortly thereafter from Trustkill Records. Speaking on City Sleeps new home, Sharp says “Trustkill and Josh (Grabelle, President) understand us and we think the label is one of the most credible independent labels in the business.”

The release date for ‘Not An Angel' was supposed to be August 28, 2007 but in a blog posted on their myspace page on July 11, 2007 they stated that the record has been pushed back once again. The CD was released on October 9, 2007. The official CD release party was October 12, 2007.
