Sleep Theory - Paper Hearts EP | Reaction

[@DaveCowellMusic]

Hey, David Cowell (producer) here, just wanted to thank you for this review. It meant a lot to watch you really examine the whole EP and getting to see you fall in love with the songs in real time was a wonderful experience for me. Just subscribed and will be keeping up with you. Won’t spoil the setlist for you, but you’ll be happy 😊

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Can’t wait to see them live!

[@DaveCowellMusic]

@@ashlenamusic they’re incredible, and really genuinely good dudes (they all 4 sing BTW 😊)

[@ashlenamusic]

@DaveCowellMusic no way 🤯 I’m gonna check out and react to something they’ve done live next week! Do they do M&G’s at shows?

[@Temp-1414]

@@ashlenamusic they do! I saw them in Toronto on Friday. They were chilling at their merch table after the concert and actually greeted us and asked if we wanted a photo. Very very chill band and amazing music and stage presence!

[@brandonbaker2630]

Amazing Ep Dave! I truly love this sound ❤

[@chadhobin6944]

Upstate New York loves our northern neighbors. I have been to Toronto before. Very beautiful city. Anybody who goes there must go up to the top of the CN Tower and look down. It redefines the feeling of pure Vertigo. I loved it!

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha I haven’t been up the CN tower in decades but yeah it’s cool if you like heights.

[@inspectorquaalude714]

There's 3 vocals and each has their place. It's R&B meets the 2000's metal like Linkin Park and Breaking Benjamin and some others. Obviously with their influences

[@ashlenamusic]

Yup! Saw them live and they were amazing!

[@fragrounds]

I just saw them last night with Invent Animate, The Plot in You, and Beartooth, and they were absolutely incredible. I honestly don't think anything could top Beartooth last night, but Sleep Theory was a VERY close second. Their live sound is basically as good as Bad Omens, which is some seriously high praise. They gained a lifelong fan last night!

[@ashlenamusic]

AMAZING! I also went to that tour and they killed it!

[@brandonbaker2630]

I love this EP!!! I can’t stop listening

[@ashlenamusic]

Same!!!!!

[@LucypPearl]

I just googled if cullen moore and lajon witherspoon were related cause the voices DUUUUDE - I really love the SEVENDUST vibes of this band. They got a new fan here for sure.

[@ashlenamusic]

Glad you love them they are amazing and so good live

[@willha11]

I see them in 2 weeks!!!! Cant wait!

[@gerardomorales4078]

I'm calling it. Numb is likely showing up on my Spotify Wrap of 2024. I'll just put it on repeat sometimes.

[@ashlenamusic]

Ditto!

[@Syruhon]

First time i heard the Ep the songs are very relatable and i instantly add them to my playlist. Great reaction btw

[@ashlenamusic]

Glad you like them!

[@iiitzHimmy]

My top EP of 2023.

[@ashlenamusic]

Nice!

[@chadhobin6944]

Such a wonderful EP! \m/

[@ashlenamusic]

So good!

[@davidriddick82]

I hear Linkin Park but I also really hear SEVENDUST. His voice when he goes into his lower tones with the scream or the rasp, is very reminiscent of Lajon Witherspoon who is the lead vocalist. Absolutely Nu Metal with a unique twist and I’m loving their stuff!! Think they are from Memphis TN Despite comparisons to vocalists, they are unique and different and yes his voice is AMAZING can’t stop listening

[@ashlenamusic]

I forgot about sevendust 🤯

[@dancaldwell6586]

Try numb reamagined the song features a guy named spencer i think? Also the guitarist does the screams, the rb guy is Collin lead singer and their bassists does the back up vocals, these guys are definitely going to the top, im also going to their show in Philadelphia with my 7 year old on the 23rd in January your gonna love beartooth as well.

[@ashlenamusic]

Will do! I’m seeing them on the 19th! Can wait! Hoping my seat isn’t too far away to get some footage!

[@joecuellar6530]

Love ur reaction to this EP🤘🏼

[@ashlenamusic]

Thanks!!!

[@joecuellar6530]

Please react to Loathe’s album I LET IT IN AND IT TOOK EVERYTHING

[@LizsList]

I got a somewhat funny story about the 'Enough' song. I was spamming the ep on the bus and someone seen or herd me mouth the words 'shut your mouth cuz you talk to much' and got offended.😮 I ended up having to play him the song to prove I wasn't saying it to him. End result? He ended up looking them up. I left him halfway though playing the ep. From what I seen he seemed to be enjoying it. It was a good laugh. You're sooooo lucky you get to go see em. I might be sooooo jealous!!! They are part of a tour that is coming through FL but sadly I will not be here for it. 😭 They are on my list of bands I NEEED to see live! You hit all of my favorites! I mean I know it's all of the song but it's safe to say I mayyy be.. (definitely am) biased at this point. Also you made me realize I have memorized all their lyrics. Idk how that happened... 🤷 ❤Regardless thx for the reaction!

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha so glad you love them! And that’s a funny story. I have a concert vlog on my channel if you wanna see some live footage. I’m sure you’ll get to see them one day!

[@LizsList]

@@ashlenamusicoh I know I will but thx for the encouragement also the thing about your vlog... YES PLZ!!! 💕

[@dingostr]

Your reaction is really enjoyable to watch. That feels silly to say on a comment about a reaction intended to get this response. So, mission accomplished? Legitimately - I was so surprised by this band in 2023 - I didn't put the incubus piece together before, but they are literally Linkin Park meet Incubus in 2023. That's kinda great. Cheers!

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha right??

[@ESaavy]

I had the same reaction to Another Way. 😂

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha

[@95turbogirl1980]

When I first heard Another Way last year it immediately reminded me of my relationship with my girlfriend of 5 years at the time. Now ex girlfriend since she finally decided to let me go before Christmas.

[@ashlenamusic]

It wasn’t meant to be babe!

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Vocally and musically it was scattered.

[@ashlenamusic]

Scattered?? Tell me more

[@oldmanjimh3165]

@@ashlenamusic Just didn't seem cohesive. Like it was was a collection of thoughts put together haphazardly.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

@@ashlenamusic When I say thoughts, I mean riffs and vocal ideas.

[@FixNewsPlease]

@@oldmanjimh3165 I felt that too. I think they need a few years under their belt.

[@FixNewsPlease]

@@ashlenamusic Noisy. Too much going on. That's just me.

[@FixNewsPlease]

I never know when I watch a reaction video if the like/dislike is for the reaction or the music.

[@ashlenamusic]

Lmao most likely the reaction. I assume they are watching since they like the song 🤷🏽‍♀️🤔

[@FixNewsPlease]

@@ashlenamusic I've never heard most of the songs you react to. When I dislike a song, I still like the video because I respect your reaction, but I always feel like I'm voting for a song I don't care for lol.

[@ashlenamusic]

lol might be cause you’re already a subscriber. Most of the dislikes comes from unsubscribers on my channel lol

[@ashlenamusic]

I appreciate the likes xx

[@FixNewsPlease]

@@ashlenamusic Probably yeah.

[@Alienatedwhufc]

Not sure if giving suggestions in the comments is ok or not? But I really recommend you give a Scottish band called “the Snuts” out, kinda similar sound, vibe and genre as Nothing but thieves

[@ashlenamusic]

Totally ok!

[@actioninmyphannypack]

There's actually 3 singers lol

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha I know that now!

[@vtownrider77]

More like Sevendust

[@ashlenamusic]

Ooooh definitely!

[@nicholasanderson2939]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4TdpqisrpyZo68si=QKO9Aw4uT7jYDOIm If you want to get an idea of how they sound live…love ur video btw

[@ashlenamusic]

Ahhhh I want to be surprised! I’ll check it out after I see them live on the 19th!

[@JahYHWH]

lol invent animate will steal the show

[@ashlenamusic]

No way!!! So excited to listen to them next week and react to it!
