Armor for Sleep

A New Jersey band with a dynamic sound that blends emo, post-hardcore, alternative rock, and dream pop, Armor for Sleep combines introspective, concept-driven lyrics with atmospheric melodies and a passionate D.I.Y. spirit. The group became a cornerstone of the 2000s emo scene on the strength of lauded efforts like Dream to Make Believe (2003) and What to Do When You Are Dead (2005). After disbanding in 2009, they reunited in 2020 and later released The Rain Museum (2022) and There Is No Memory (2025).
