Sleepy-Head is the first national release for this foursome from Wichita, Kansas, although they have had three prior indie releases, which certainly shows they have staying power and commitment. The band consists of Alan Austin (drums and vocals), Mark Scheltgen (guitars and vocals), Kurt Stark (bass), and Jamie Woodson (guitar and lead vocals). Lyrically, Sleepy-Head sees the band changing their lyrical focus from general relationships to relationships centered on Christ. The most interesting song has the catchy title "Jeffrey Dahmer Went to Heaven." The lyrics talk about how anyone can accept Christ and go to heaven. An album of fresh, interesting, and Christ-centered lyrics, matched with some good hard, melodic modern rock--we have the makings of a hit here.

Nonetheless, the band brings a new flavor to Christian music with their thought-provoking…Similar sounding releases
