Year 8, Day 361

Hey guys. Today's song is Some Kind Of Heaven by Sleeping At Last.

Sleeping At Last is a musical project active since 1999 by Ryan O'Neal, with past members being Chad O'Neal and Dan Perdue. They started out as a locally known band, independently released their album in 2000, and opened for other bands like Plain White T's before earning the attention of Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins fame. He helped them get signed to a label in 2002. Their next album was released in 2003, followed by a lot of touring. By 2006 they were no longer with a label and released their third album independently. Chad O'Neal left the project in 2008, then the other two released their next album in 2009. In 2010 they started a Yearbook project, releasing a couple songs in an EP each month for a year, going into 2011.  Later in 2011 Dan Perdue also left the project, leaving Ryan as the only member. He released an EP in 2012 followed by the announcement of another series of EPs with four released in 2013, and two released in 2014.  He announced Atlas Year 2, which was more of those EPs in 2015 with one released in 2015, two in 2016, one in 2017, and one in 2019.  He released another EP in 2020. Then in 2021 he announced the Year 3 of the Atlas project would be going on so he's still going. So go check those out if you're curious.

Peace.
