Battle Tapes - Sleepwalker

[@mumblefordwatson3729]

my favorite " nobody has heard of them" band. Long Live Rock and Roll...

[@kelliematthaidess6522]

Same

[@jasonmateus924]

Damn right

[@washurpaws]

its literally in GTA 5

[@Sonilotos]

​@@washurpaws...on the "hipster" radio full of other unpopular bands Furthermore, they're still basically an indie band 11 years later

[@lianivanbolhuis150]

10 years later and this song is still freaking insane!!!

[@skythunder4413]

Actually... It's Fucking Insane!

[@aaronconaway7555]

I've been looping this in my car for past 3 months, maybe I need to wake up

[@jamesmitchell9872]

Yep late like appreciation for a new pearl jam album

[@zetsunoo8234]

Man the lyrics on this are just pure G E N I U S!! I discovered this band a year ago and can't stop listening to these songs ever since. Absolute banger.

[@Lancersilva]

I will do everything in my power to get more people to hear y’all’s music

[@colabottle5440]

Me too

[@grandtheftautolabs3439]

The intro is done with a keyboard? My entire life is a lie!

[@tobeharrowed]

GrandTheftAutoTrillogy's It's most likely a sample they've pulled from another piece of music or audio clip and they've looped it. This is the studio version of the song paired with footage from a live practice, so I'm imagining that the actual live practice had just a synthesizer playing the closest notes possible or they've managed to bind they notes from that sample onto each key of the keyboard. If they play it live at all though, I'm imagining they just use a synth and play some close notes or play that sample off of a laptop or something. So... your ENTIRE life isn't a lie... Don't worry. xD -Harro

[@ImWithTheIdiotpilot]

@@tobeharrowed To me it sounds like a sample from Drinkee by Sofi Tukker, although that song came out 5 years AFTER Sleepwalker so I'm kinda baffled. I don't think they share a common sample or anything and there's nothing about it online as far as I can see

[@Samuel._.T]

@@tobeharrowed I have no idea whatchu said but Guitar strings or keyboard. Its a perfect intro!

[@TheACEcompany]

Your music is so good, Trent Reznor is getting curious

[@fureversalty]

hesitation marks fr

[@kingofcrows8829]

I doubt he cares. Probably locked in a warehouse with one candle, somewhere

[@alexcromar7643]

Just found this band recently and this song is amazing

[@00Mike55]

12 years later and this song not only still slaps but hasn't aged at all, one of my favorites to blast anywhere I go.

[@ivandrago23]

Just discovered these guys by watching en episode of "Elementary". Really good stuff, added to my new workout mix, cheers🍺🤠

[@bbarkovskiy4125]

My holy music taste brought me here

[@kelliematthaidess6522]

Same

[@Jack_War]

Same

[@colabottle5440]

Same

[@jonathanmartin7287]

Same fuckers

[@DiamondHeadSquirtz]

goes without saying... but this deserves A LOT more views

[@Aljhaqu]

YES.

[@pedalfiles4441]

Love their use to effects, sequencers, and synths. You would think with all the tech coming out more bands would be doing this.

[@justinowens2077]

Ya know, until last night, I had only heard Feel the Same in GTA V (definitely my favorite song in gta 5 btw) and now I am obsessed with this band. Especially this album

[@crispin5741]

As you should be. :)

[@yep4925]

Justin Owens same

[@salmonellq2981]

tf I could literally written this exact comment like tomorrow

[@ThatOneOddGuy]

I've found some another great band

[@BattleTapesband]

Happy to have you!

[@laousmuzikal5454]

man this song is so underrated

[@benmccurdy529]

Found this band via GTA V - 'Feel the same' was played on the radio. Great band, and great songs. Love it.

[@destron232]

I don’t know why, but I just LOVE THIS SONG. Can’t believe it’s been almost a decade when this was released!

[@Aljhaqu]

We found it too late... But better late than never...

[@mccumbersjared44]

No one is ever too late for battle tapes go play GTA v again and tell me you're too late for battle tapes this is one of those great bands if you have ever heard of them your ears have been graced with greatness​@@Aljhaqu

[@Caynesss]

This is their best goddamn song!

[@bradseeker]

still my all-time favorite guitar solo, absolutely perfect tremolo

[@zekrodev]

I love this song so much, how is this possible that this one doesn't get waaay more attention.

[@kelliematthaidess6522]

Hi zekro! Love your vids. Last place I think I would find u is here XD

[@CatV.1]

I don't think I have ever fully expressed my gratitude towards this band and all of their content. You guys have really stolen the space on my ipod, but it is well worth it. These songs changed my life for the better, and I can never wait for another song of yours. You guys are really awesome at what you do, and I encourage you never to stop. Ever since I heard Feel The Same on GTA 5, I couldn't wait to hear it again. You guys are awesome and I really like your songs. Thank you for making fabulous music, and I will always remember to listen to many of your songs throughout every day. Keep it up.

[@elipter9689]

I Feel the Same

[@elipter9689]

You got it.

[@potatington7090]

You guys need to be more recognized.

[@bigstabby]

I was playing GTA 5 when one of their songs started playing and I got excited because I actually thought Jay Gordon was back until I found out it was this band.lol The song was "Feel The Same". He sounds near identical in the chorus.

[@matthewcoupe393]

I miss the Coldplay style back in early to mid 2000's that "heavier" guitar style slowly fading away hence why I started listening to Battle Tapes

[@yep4925]

If you want a indie/alternative rock band that's really good, I recommend Stuck in the Sound.

[@jonathanmartin7287]

They are really good and there music videos are deadly to boot

[@alexbarker3775]

I've listened to this song like 500 times now and that's very rare for me to do. You guys are seriously my favorite band now and I hope I get the chance to go to one of your concerts one day.

[@docteurxanax2080]

such masterpiece deserves more views and publicity

[@alden.chipworks]

crazy good

[@throughthoroughthought8064]

Neat; a bit of this, and a bit of that. I'll try to be back for another listen some time.

[@BattleTapesband]

See you then

[@TwoBs]

Kinda’ mad I’m only just now learning about this group and these songs. LOVE this one.

[@_Zaira]

Eargasms when he does that cool ass guitar thing at 2:55.

[@slsmith1987]

damm right it is

[@welcomereality924]

im still coming back to this video to try to replicate this trick and im like... not getting it at all

[@bradseeker]

oh shit i think i might be able to help, try a mad heavy strum on a power chord and a deep tremolo pedal! they're digital so i'm not sure if it's a standard sort of tremolo, or a digital LFO on the volume

[@yep4925]

It sounds like a reverb pedal mixed in with a waa pedal. It's sick as hell!

[@yep4925]

@@bradseeker yeah, you might be right now that I listen again.

[@jasonmateus924]

Now..just imagine Battle Tapes opening for Depeche Mode

[@glowingwebmd6112]

That would be awesome depending on opening songs used

[@yep4925]

This song deserves way more attention, and this band.

[@AmokBSN]

Superb song, these guys need more exposure, 2000 views seems like a gross injustice. NiN sounding or not. These guys nail it in every sense of the word.

[@btorres1129]

I'm so glad I found out about this song quite early, otherwise I would get annoyed with the entire comment board reading, "[insert popular game/movie/commercial] BROUGHT ME HERE!!!!!!!" Either way, I'm glad that people like bigstabby did a little bit of 'research' beyond GTA V. Great game and all, it's just that I remember when Feel The Same had about 1,000 views. Nonetheless, this is music is awesome regardless of how you know it.

[@colabottle5440]

You knew It that far back awesome

[@xxmemestar69xx82]

This is a banger.

[@V2さ]

和訳置いときます…！ 中毒が膨れ上がった Addiction has blistered あなたの名を付けた囁きに耳を塞がれ Deafened by whispers that bear your name 無能な声 Incompetent voices 失敗も喜びも、時計仕掛けのようにすべて同じ。 Fails and rejoices just like clockwork its all the same そして、私は我慢し続けてるのを見てきました And I've seen patience wait on you ずっと。 For so long. でも、居眠りばかりするので、 But you keep nodding off 誰が so who, 誰が来て、再びあなた自身から救うのか、 Who's going to come and save you from yourself again, 黒が青に変わるように As dark turns into blue. そして、一粒一粒に And with every grain, 壊れた心の眠りの精は与えてくれる Your broken hearted sand man feeds you, 過ぎゆく毎日がすべて同じように見える Every passing day seems all the same to 夢遊病者には… the sleepwalker. 季節の移り変わり Through passing seasons 反逆を彼は考えるように Plotting his treason, so he thinks. 帆は眠くなる Sails have grown sleepy 「人生はただの夢」という歌に誘われ Lulled by the singing of how "Life is but a dream" そして、私は我慢し続けてるのを見てきました And I've seen patience wait on you ずっと。 For so long. でも、居眠りばかりしてるので、 But you keep nodding off 誰が？ so who, 誰が来て、再びあなた自身から救うのか？ Who's going to come and save you from yourself again 黒が青に変わるように As dark turns into blue. そして一粒一粒に And with every grain 壊れた心の眠りの精は与えてくれる Your broken hearted sand man feeds you, 過ぎゆく毎日がすべて同じように見える Every passing day seems all the same to 夢遊病者には… the sleepwalker. Battletapesは最近ハマりまして…和訳がなかったので個人的解釈ですがいくつかやってみました！

[@TigerSynth]

Love this track!

[@palomagalindoo1211]

I really hope you guys get more public exposure, music like this needs to be heard over the mainstream music being put out nowadays (no disrespect to the mainstream artists work) but music like this is just too good to be kept low key. I officially love this band, I hope to see you guys on tour soon! 💕

[@JayArr96]

Who cares if you insult mainstream music, we know you're thinking it and honestly, you're right. Most mainstream music sucks.

[@JayArr96]
