Breakout four-piece Sleep Theory — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassist Paolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — have today released their eagerly awaited debut album, Afterglow, via Epitaph Records.

The album offers a stunning display of diverse rock flavors and was produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects). Purchase the album here.

To celebrate the release, Sleep Theory have also shared the video for “Gravity.” Watch it here.

The song, with its pop-inspired bounce, heady grooves, generously sprinkled synths, and Moore’s soulful, arena-sized voice, is about the winners and losers who keep playing the game of love.

“‘Gravity’ is really just a classic R&B story— it’s about that real chemistry you sometimes feel with someone, even when the timing’s not perfect,” Moore explains. “I wanted it to feel confident, a little flirty, and very 2000s — something that could’ve played in the background of a scene in a throwback movie.”

He yanks the curtain back a little more, saying, “‘Gravity’ actually came together back in 2021, before we even knew we were going to do a full album. I wasn’t thinking in terms of a big project yet — I was just writing whatever felt good at the time. A big inspiration was the song ‘No Guidance’ by Chris Brown and Drake. It had this smooth, confident energy that really stuck with me. I wanted ‘Gravity’ to have a similar vibe — something that feels cool and effortless but still has emotion behind it. Even visually, I was thinking of that same kind of late night, moody feel.”

In other Sleep Theory news, the album’s lead single “Stuck In My Head,” ascended to the No. 1 spot on the Active Rock radio charts — a first for the band! The single “Static” is currently at No. 19 on the active rock charts,  the album’s fourth single to appear in the Top 20.
All told, Sleep Theory have accumulated 350 million streams across 10 singles in their brief but blockbuster career thus far.

The band has also appeared on the digital cover of Revolver. Ready the insightful feature, which provides a look into the heart of Sleep Theory, here.

Sleep Theory combine energetic hard rock and metalcore, alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cullen Moore. Praised by Jelly Roll and David Draiman, they’ve toured with Shinedown, Falling In Reverse, and Beartooth. In under two years, they became the fifth most-played artist on Active Rock radio. Afterglow and the Paper Hearts EP merge heavy rock with pop and R&B, producing anthemic bangers and emotional ballads. Saluted by Revolver, Loudwire, and Amazon Music as an Artist to Watch in 2025, they’ve become one of heavy music’s biggest breakouts. With Afterglow, the quartet proves ready to ascend to the next level. Sleep Theory deliver the dynamic, heavy bounce and massive vocal hooks that the rock world desperately needs. Moore is a powerhouse singer who outmatches nearly all his peers, recalling the most classic and timeless pop, R&B, and rock ‘n’ roll vocalists of the last several decades. Sleep Theory push themselves creatively at every turn, catapulting the genre to new sonic heights.
